Unfortunately, XMPP never delivered on this promise
Huh that entirely false though.
The fact that iMessage, GTalk, Messenger, WhatsApp, Zoom, and others closed off federation is no fault of XMPP, and a new protocol isn’t going to change that.
Honestly if even half of the effort that goes into every XMPP replacement du jour instead went into improving existing XMPP clients, we wouldn’t even be talking about this.
Yeah, Conversations is probably the most fleshed out. Dino is missing lots of features, as is Monal for osx. Gajim is very nice, but it’s written in Python. Psi used to be my favorite 10 years ago but it’s unmaintained.
I just want something more on feature parity with all the Slack clones, but not actually Slack. Or mattermost. Or matrix. Goddamn, there are so many messaging apps

There’s a slew of decent xmpp clients too. Conversation on Android, Dino for Gtk is.nice (simple but polished), wouldn’t take much.
