   The same argument can be made for XMPP and it's already standardized by the IETF.

   It's not entirely unfounded since, by the virtue of openness, it's much easier to create new XMPP addressed than WhatsApp accounts. However I doubt this is the reason why the most popular messengers do not comply with the XMPP sta

   I never got any spam on my XMPP address, probably because I treat it like my phone number and only use it for chatting with friends and family.

   XMPP needs more love. Provider indepedent end-to-end encrypted messaging, standardized by the IETF and not tied to a VC-funded startup reinventing the wheel. Let's make using and building on internet standards popular again.

    Take a look at OMEMO (Signal encryption protocol for the XMPP internet standard). Interoperability and E2EE are not exclusive at all.

    Hopefully this will be the re-birth of the XMPP standard. WhatsApp is built on it, has a huge market share and, when I read this correctly, will start federating in the near future.

    I wouldn't be so sure. If you create a Matrix account and join an IRC channel, your username[m] will never leave the channel, even if you never use Matrix again. I made a few test accounts and it was rather difficult to figure out how
