XMPP works, but there are no video calls. Matrix has those, and they are very good. But since it is not possible there to see the online state of my friends (turned off everywhere due to horrible performance), it defeats the purpose. I want to see if they are at their computer, not if they own a mobile phone. 😉

Who was 400 years old from Krynn? Sylvara? It’s been a long time since I’ve read those books.

I wish xmpp was p2p. I can self-host but it could be way simpler if people didn't have to.

But locked in a way where nice third party clients could still interact with them. I never used official clients after a time.
That seems to have gone away.
