XMPP: The secure communication protocol that respects privacy
Hi! Glad to see XMPP on the HN first page this morning :)
I'm working on a social-network and IM web platform (for 12 years already!), fully built on XMPP https://movim.eu/.
Thanks to its extensibility and the PubSub XMPP standard you can easily build social-network like features. The standard is pretty simple, it's Atom 1.0 transport within PubSub.
For those that likes RSS/Atom you can also easily publish Atom newsfeed to PubSub (see https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub) and follow your favorite website using your XMPP account and with real-time pushed articles. Here is ArsTechnica as an example https://mov.im/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica
XMPP is not only for IM, but way more than that ;)

XMPP: The secure communication protocol that respects privacy
> then try to find your contacts again (which may be cached by your client or not)
You can save XMPP account IDs in any mobile address book.
> Finally, you have to convince "someone" that this is just you with another account on another server. There is also no verified E2EE anymore.
I'd pretty much just do a video call at that point.
> How is this different from "when Signal goes down one uses a completely different instant messaging system", apart from using another client?
You don't have to use another client software.
> Which means: If one of these hosting companies blocks XMPP traffic (e.g., if a rogue state starts censoring) or one of these XMPP servers goes down, a huge part of XMPP users is affected.
Equally applies to most messaging apps out there. Some XMPP apps have the benefit of also supporting using Tor and hidden services - Signal/WhatsApp/etc, don't.
Don't want to use the Internet at all? You can even go wild and do something like: https://github.com/ddamianus/Lora-Chat-Device - I realize this is something most people would not do, but XMPP's _flexibility_ allows this to be an option if it was something people wanted. Can't do Signal over LoRa.
What are some alternatives?
Xabber - Open-source XMPP client for Android
Kontalk - Kontalk official Android client
Movim - Movim - Decentralized social platform
