IMHO XMPP / Jabber is the best Instant Messenger (IM) protocol (feddit.dk)

It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized.

I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im on android and Gajim on Linux. There's also apps for windows and Apple.

Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?

EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.

I use it for pretty much all of my stuff, both as a message bus as well as a command-and-control mechanism for my bots.

I would like to hear more about what you're doing / how you have it set up. I've used xmpp to relay messages from home automation stuff - which usually involves piping something to a script calling a library.
