Time for a federation of messengers. The XMPP protocol is ready and waiting for you.

There are many servers to choose from:

  1. Prosody
  2. ejabberd
  3. Openfire
  4. Tigase
  5. MongooseIM
  6. Metronome

They are easy to set up, and low on resources.

there are many fediverse alternatives, but honestly they're deserted.

That's true. But it's nice to have an account on a federated messenger and use it with a couple close contacts, as you won't feel affected by the constant threats to centralized services.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
