Outside of my friend group, no one uses XMPP, the internet standard for chat, they only know about walled gardens and custom protocols by VC startups now :(

- SunlitCat 1y agoSince when became XMPP "the internet standard for chat"? What about IRC[0]? :( [0]: RFCs 1459, 2810 - 2813, 7194.
- lou1306 1y agoCome on, of course there will be some protocols that are more obscure than others, but the overall concept of RFCs is far from "forgotten". Besides, a lot of these walled chat gardens roll their own XMPP/Jabber thingy behind the scenes.
- MYEUHD 1y agoWhatsapp, Zoom and Kik Messenger use XMPP under the hood. Just because it's not well-known doesn't mean it's not widely used
- betaby 1y agoWhatsapp used XMPP many years ago, not today though.
- alexchantavy 1y agoI miss when Facebook Messenger let you connect to it with XMPP back in the day so you could have it together with your other msging services on Adium/Pidgin
- loeg 1y agoXMPP has nothing going for it.
