3 EN. XMPP

I've tried out XMPP.

There are 2 XMPP clients for the console I used: profanity and poezio.

I was wondering why rust was running while poezio was built.

It turns out dev-python/cryptography depends on dev-lang/rust-bin on Gentoo.

I have not tried to build poezio on a system where rust isn't installed.

The pendant to an IRC channel is called "muc" in XMPP which is short for "multi user chat".

There's a muc search engine here:

Also there are many mucs on the chat.disroot.org XMPP server.
