There are IM apps mostly pushed by a few loud enthusiasts on Mastodon, and then there is #XMPP, which is used in the real world.
For example:
• Evacuating people from battlefields in Afghanistan: That’s XMPP.
• Shipping metric fuck tons of cocaine across the globe: That’s XMPP.

#XSF Announcement
Today the #XMPP Standards Foundation publishes an Open Letter to urge #Meta to adopt XMPP for messaging #interoperability.
It’s time for real interoperability. Let’s make it happen.

@Goffi
Sounds too focused on the technical side. XMPP is imho already a bad branding (not pronounceable, not memorizable) so we're not bringing much accessibility by coining another techie term.
Imho if we want XMPP to gain traction over WhatsApp users we need to present it as a user-focused, no-hassle, easy-to-use option.
But maybe you're targeting the IT community?
