I love assuming that everyone has !XMPP. And when they say "what is XMPP?" I can do the same weird face everyone gives me when I ask "what is Facebook?" because they assume I am a customer there.

Me: "Why are you trying to send an SMS to me when you can just write to me on XMPP?"
Them: "What is XMPP?"
Me: "HEEELLLOOO! Have you heard about the internet?! Welcome to the 20th century, you stone age centralised phone freak!!!"

Phone networks are somewhat decentralised though, but they're so restricted and closed down so they might as well be centralised. As an end-user you have no way to self-host or legally own your phone number (as with a domain name) anyway.

Well ok, the 21st century, but whatever.

"Who owns the service?"

@stigatle I use #prosody, since if it breaks I can always go next-doors and bash on @zash.

@stigatle @zash Fortunately for him, #prosody doesn't break.

@hikerus I think community servers are a good thing: https://blog.mmn-o.se/2013/06/12/federating-by-commune-design/

@andresinmp They compare with a specific !xmpp client by Cisco, not the protocol itself. So all points are invalid for any other software until proven otherwise.
Especially that firewall thing, that's just bogus - there are several standardised methods for NAT/firewall traversal for XMPP.
