@lproven Sadly it's not only the companies not supporting #XMPP anymore, but also the client ecosystem becoming more and more degraded.

For example, on Mac there used to be a bunch of well maintained OSS clients, like #AdiumX. These are more or less gone, with a few exceptions like #BeagleIM and #MonalIM. Might be a different situation on Linux though...

This is sad. For me XMPP on its high was the pinnacle of IM.

@ij Ich trauere immernoch unserem #XMPP Server am Institut nach. Schön, dass sich noch welche für #XMPP engagieren! Leider scheint das XMPP Ökosystem insbesondere was die Deskop Clients angeht zu erodieren. Der brauchbarste MacOS Client (#AdiumX) wird seit Jahren nicht mehr gepflegt. Kennt jemand eine brauchbare Alternative (nicht Konsole).

I've created a bounty for porting #AdiumX to the modern era (~ #AppleSilicon port):

... if some doesn't know what adium is: https://adium.im/ - it's a classic, customizable multi protocol instant messenger for macOS :)
