@aerique @technomancy This is something I can't understand myself too. Why did people stop using Jabber? I understand all those people who just used gChat or however it is now called, and never realized it was Jabber, were stopped when Google pulled the plug, but what about all the rest? A lot of people were using it before Google. I'm still using it to chat with my parents. There are clients for every platform, and a wide variety of reasonable servers you can run on a pi in your closet. So why?
