I am not trying to denigrate XMPP in any way, I also use it, though I am not very familiar with the internals. Here, the decentralized aspect doesn't seem to bring a lot of added value (what would you federate? Push senders and push servers? The relationship is mostly 1:1 in every case). > It wasn't open Then, I'm sorry, but even if the design was miles ahead of what is being proposed here, it might as well not have existed. > If there is a fight worth fighting, it is the one to force phone OS developers to open this part of an OS to allow using custom push notifications services. Well, we're proposing an API for it, and we will certainly push alternative OSes such as LineageOS, /e/ and others to adopt it; we hope it gets picked up by bigger fish, but we can't exactly pressure them into doing it, besides demonstrating that it works, documenting it and raising awareness, which is what we're doing here.
