I hope XMPP just goes away and stops distracting people from more productive avenues.
It can't be fixed. It's dead. Matrix is the modern replacement.
I used XMPP to implement a chat client within our application around 2012. It was a freaking nightmare. The roster system, the incompatibilities, the lack of standardized synchronization, the never-working group messaging.

For iOS, Android, macOS, Windows. > I hope Matrix just goes away and stops distracting the FOSS community from improving existing internet standards instead of custom protocols by random startups :) XMPP had its chance, it blew it.
