IMHO XMPP / Jabber is the best Instant Messenger (IM) protocol - Feddit.dk

It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and more. I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im [http://blabber.im] on android and Gajim on Linux. There’s also apps for windows and Apple. Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?

I think it should be incorporated into Lemmy as a chat function. Also been thinking if I could develop it, I have experience with XMPP from an application my employer creates.

Considering the fact that there is a special field in user profiles for a Matrix handle, I imagine upstream would prefer something Matrix-y instead.

Of course I can't speak for anyone involved. Especially if someone else is thinking of writing the code themselves.
