Yep. He's dead, Jim.
If reviving XMPP is the battle you want to fight, best of luck but I'd encourage you to take a step back, face reality, and spend your energy on something with a better chance of success. And I say that as someone who used Jabber all day long 20 years ago.
- ezst 28d agoI really don't understand this attitude. The landscape has changed in 25 years, XMPP was built from the ground-up for extensibility. And that was the right approach, since it managed to improve continuously, and is now on par with the dominant alternatives. In that timespan, it survived 2 or 3 generations of messengers. It will survive Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram and others (which, by their proprietary and centralized nature, are prone to enshittification). For anyone paying attention, it should be the clear "safe bet" for what to try next/keep at hand somewhere.
