@Stark9837 @fediversenews This is not some esoteric point or creating an issue just for it's sake. This has happened to SIP. They have settled on E.164 addr & for all practical purposes SS#7 is the protocol (!). XMPP has so many extensions it is easy to be incompatible. Inexplicably, but unsurprisingly both Google & Facebook decided that they will go alone & will not federate w anybody. And so we wait and see how this time it plays out.
