CallMeAl (like Alan)

Kindly point me to three generalist, widely known XMPP servers.

The lack of generalist widely known XMPP servers has nothing to do with the fact that today anyone who wants to deploy a modern up to date XMPP server can do so, and has choices. There are also modern actively maintained clients. That’s my point. There are also many general free servers to join, even if not well known.

If you base the value of something on its popularity rather than its utility, then we aren’t concerned about the same things. As long as I can use the software I want to use in the way I want to use it, then I’m a happy user. I can’t control what other people use.

It’s the old “embrace, extend, extinguish” strategy in a new form.

Do I need to point out that this has never worked against linux/open source?

Probably but I’d have to look into it and see for myself about the details. I’m not going to let some asshole burn down perfectly good open source just by giving money to it.

Or I can ignore Omarchy. I can continue to use and support the open source projects I like. I’ve been a happy linux and open source user for 25+ years. So far no asshole with money has been able to mess it up yet and I don’t see that changing. Many have tried.
