Hi MSavoritias,

It's a community question. Everyone knows about IRC, and it works
well. I'm not sure there is a "we want" for XMPP, even though the
protocol is superior.

There is also a trust issue. For acceptance, we need bridging. For
bridging, we need policing. And for policing, we need people with
time.

Libera.chat has great volunteers that have a long track record in
maintaining a service that people rely upon. A group of people would
have to step up for XMPP here.

Kind regards
Felix
