Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Facebook should be required to integrate XMPP into their messaging products.
Matrix is a cool idea but we now have like 1 server implementation that isn't somewhat gimpy, and its closed source... XMPP is much more compelling.
- blackeyeblitzar 2y agoIn general all these large companies should be required to use open standards or spin off proprietary protocols into an independent open source project.
- miohtama 2y agoGoogle/Facebook did XMPP federation back in a day and it was spam hell.

- airhangerf15 2y agoThey did. Facebook's XMPP implementation was shit and unreliable. Google's actually federated, but they silently killed federation .. and then the entire protocol. (This was ~10 years ago) Exactly who should "require" these companies to implement theses standards? Some daddy government? Who would be forced to implement it? Just the big sites? What makes a site big enough? If it were required, it would be used to lock out smaller players. Consumers could demand it, but we know the average consumer doesn't even know what a protocol is, or understand the different between a web browser and e-mail. Most don't even know how their phones work.
