@karl @Cochise @gustavo22soares @gbrlpires @vitoranguia Já eu trabalho mais com #XMPP tanto por ser um dos únicos que é padrão internacional de comunicação, ser extensível (via #XEP, que usa processo de aprovação comunitário), ter #XEPs de recomendação quase todos os anos desde 2018, e pelo #XMPP ser recomendado pelo #ePING 2018 do #Brasil / #Brazil. Mais argumentos estão em https://libreplanet.org/wiki/XMPP.pt . Todavia, posso usar #IRC, #WebRTC (via qualquer instância #Jitsi) ou #GNU #Jami / #GNUJami .

There should be something like meta-XEPs for #XMPP. One of the problems w/ XMPP is the uneven support for #XEPs across many diverse clients and servers. If there was an umbrella that said any client/server that targets desktop chat should have XEP X, Y, and Z. While one that supports mobile should have A, B, and C. And a client suporting #videochat should R1, R2, and R3.

However, his comparison with #XMPP is mind-blogging. Yes, the #XMPPFoundation has developed a good process for formalizing extensions to the base standard (#XEPs). Yes, this is something #ActivityPub folks could learn from. But the XMPP spec was first published in 2004. The final AP 1.0 standard was only published last year, give it time!
