@raucao @hyc @liaizon I'm happy you are successfuly using xmpp.

I'm talking about the % of the global population.

If I setup my self hosted xmpp server and create an account. How many people can I contact on that network? You are right we don't have stat but let's admit it's order of magnitude less than WhatsApp, signal or telegram. We can regret it, we can't deny it.

Moxxie always said he would be happy to be proven wrong by the success of a decentralized app. Maybe he is right

@raucao @hyc @liaizon I think one point you neglect is that signal has been conceived after people already tried to kill proprietary messaging. That's the whole xmpp story. Moxxie and al. knew about xmpp and saw it has a the total failure it is. They didn't want to reproduce that. The hostility toward decentralized things does not come from nowhere, it's based on experience
