Considering that WhatsApp is essentially an old/non-federating fork of ejabberd (from where this blog post originates), I think XMPP is doing alright in that regard.
- greatgib 11mo agoLooking at how many years ago the fork open, you can easily guess that the protocol doesn't look anything at all like XMPP.
