I thought the same about XMPP 15 years ago.

I think chat protocols are much like languages, it's almost inherent that in communication between people different standards and different communities form.

Different groups of people use different messengers to (often unknowingly) express an identity.

I've giving up on the hope that there will be one universal language / protocol to unite everyone.
