Open Sourcers Race to Build Better Versions of Slack

XEP-0136 was pretty complex, and didn't see that much adoption.

XEP-0313 is a modern replacement, focusing on just the things that people actually need. It's implemented in many servers and clients already (see https://www.zash.se/mam.html ). It's still under development, but it's already in active use by many people.

Great, there's even two extensions on it!

This is why nobody wants to touch XMPP with a ten-foot pole.

So either XMPP is bad because it hasn't changed for years and is therefore old, or else XMPP is bad because there's new replacements for stuff that didn't work so well.

Honestly, there's some days I wonder if there's any way to win.
