Hopefully, we shall have official support for XMPP soon. Here is an ai generated summary of what is in the pipeline for XMPP later this year and going into the future.

In case people can't remember (!)

XMPP stands for Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol.

It's an open, decentralized standard (originally Jabber) for real-time communication like instant messaging, presence (online status), group chats, voice/video (via Jingle), and more. Built on XML streams over TCP (or HTTP), it federates like email—anyone can run a server, no central authority. Formalized by IETF in RFCs 6120/6121 (2011 updates). Powers apps from gaming (PlayStation) to IoT, with extensions (XEPs) for endless customization.
