I see a lot of people talk about XMPP like it is/was amazing and would still be a viable alternative to discord/slack/matrix/ect. I’ve heard it’s decentralized and I see a lot of clients out there but I don’t see any servers. Am I missing something? Are there only a handful of obscure servers out there? Can an XMPP server be self-hosted? Does XMPP only need clients? I am unfamiliar with the protocol and how it is used.

@micahilbery I pay Snikket to host a server for me but their server software can also be self hosted. I also use jmp. chat so that I can send sms and make voice calls from xmpp to people's phone numbers too. It is super cool technology.
