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 federated / decentralized.

I use it with family and friends. Conversations and 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?

EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.

    What I have to give to XMPP is that it’s one of the easiest federated services to self-host. Running Prosody is super simple.

      Prosody is amazing and I’m still astounded by how easy it is to get XMPP up and running. That’s great stuff!
