@suika@pl.ibuki.club @3@social.xenofem.me FWIW, I do love XMPP and IRC. I use and love them! Please see the thread, we are talking about something specific that none of these things have: a chatroom with no center / that nobody hosts, which we think is important for sociopolitical reasons explained in the thread. It's not to put down XMPP or IRC, both of which I love, use, and have built and run tech for before.
