>What is XMPP? Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) is a communication protocol for message-oriented middleware. Unlike most instant messaging protocols, XMPP is defined in an open standard and uses an open systems approach of development and application, by which anyone may implement an XMPP service and interoperate with other organizations' implementations. Because XMPP is an open protocol, implementations can be developed using any software license and many server, client, and library implementations are distributed as free and open-source software.

Blame retarded xmpp community for the absence of clean onboarding experience.

Is still don't understand how it's more confusing than setting up a mail client. If anything it's easier.

Classical email clients have the same problem. And that is why people prefer gmail/outlook webclients. But they have builtin clients in their smartphones which does not asks dumb questions, just show their gmail automatically. Even conversations.im paid(!) service does not have easy onboarding with Conversations itself.

>middleware Buzzword bingo! Stopped reading right there.
It's a problem we, as the somewhat more tech savvy folks, should bully the normalfags into. They don't know any better, so stop being a beta and bully them into their freedom
