   So, picture this: I'm just chilling, minding my own business, when suddenly a message pops up on my screen.
   
   It's short and sweet, just four letters: "XMPP."
   
   Now, I don't know about you, but receiving a cryptic message like that can make anyone's imagination run wild.
   
   But fear not, for I have deciphered the mysterious code! It turns out that "XMPP" stands for something really cool: the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol. It's like the James Bond of messaging protocols, still alive and kicking, despite the ever-changing landscape of digital communication.
   
   You see, this little gem called #XMPP is the backbone of Mov.im, a platform that knows how to party with federation. It also has integration with Friendica, which, by the way, is a social networking platform that has its own fancy tricks up its sleeve.
   
   Now, what makes XMPP so special, you ask? Well, it has outlived some of the legendary messengers of the past—AIM, YIM, and even the mighty MSN Messenger.
   
   Can you believe it? It's like the XMPP protocol is the ageless wonder of the digital realm, defying the odds and keeping us connected through the ages.
   
   But wait, there's more! I have a secret wish, a burning desire in my heart. I hope that another protocol called #ActivityPub follows in XMPP's footsteps and persists for as long as it does. Imagine the possibilities!
   
   XMPP 1.0 is now 19-years-old. I hope ActivityPub has that kind of longevity. Now, wouldn't that be downright awesome?
   
   Maybe one day we'll be raising our digital glasses to toast the longevity of ActivityPub too. Until then, let's keep chatting, federating, and laughing together, one message at a time. Cheers to the protocols that stand the test of time!

     @isotopp Hold onto your hats, my friend, because XMPP is not just a success—it's a rockstar! I'm about to drop some mind-blowing statistics that will make your jaw hit the floor. Are you ready? Brace yourself!
     
     Believe it or not, XMPP has a fan base that stretches to the ends of the digital universe. Billions—yes, you heard it right, billions—of people are currently using XMPP to connect, chat, and share their digital adventures. It's like a massive global party, and everyone's invited!
     
     Think about it: billions of people relying on XMPP to keep in touch, swap ideas, and maybe even share a laugh or two. It's mind-boggling! With such a colossal user base, you're never alone in the XMPP universe. There's always someone out there, ready to trade stories, discuss the latest trends, or just send you hilarious GIFs to brighten your day.
     
     Don’t believe me? See the stats for yourself:

     @atomicpoet @isotopp

     Yep :D

     The #openEngiadina project switched from #ActivityPub to #XMPP / #RDF.

     https://openengiadina.net/en/

     From there it implements #ActivityStreams and intends to bridge back to the AP-based #Fediverse again.

     And in this space we find #Libervia ..

     https://libervia.org

     Both projects are doing great research funded by @NGIZero

     @atomicpoet XMPP also turned out to be a complete failure, even if initially it didn't look like it. I hope this does not happen to ActivityPub
