Instant Messaging: It's not about the app - #XMPP provides sovereignty of your communication

Do you think it's a good idea to create a term like the "Jabberverse" to use with people?

eg. Instead of saying "use any app which uses the Jabber/XMPP protocol", say "Use a Jabberverse app". Much more natural and intuitive.

I think this could be very useful, like "Fediverse" for ActivityPub. Language is powerful when used well.

@torresjrjr @xmpp I think that technically xmpp is part of the fediverse

It might have been so in certain circles but there's never been a strong consensus afaik.

I took it apon myself to make a stand and narrow down a most applicable definition for the Fediverse on Wiktionary.

@cwebber briefly gave contributed his opinion for the entry too.
