Out of interest, why was the Windows download deprecated? It's a bit much to expect mom & pop to be playing with WSL?

Aww beans. I looked at the IM observatory, and it seemed to check out fine...

Tried the server-to-server test?

Ahh cripes, I had port 5269 blocked. Whoop! Running the test now, thanks for the help!

Edit: Aaand I'm up! Got my first message. Thank you for your help, and for your work on Prosody!

And herein lies the reason decentralized isnt about uptime, when the server you use is down its down regardless how many use it and it doesn't matter to you others still work. It'll probably get more downtime over the years than the mega important one as well.

That's not to say decentralized doesn't have a ton of benefits just uptime for the user isnt one.
