Finding an XMPP Server: The Easy Way

If you’ve been following the show you know I recommend XMPP as the only true decentralized messaging protocol.

Why?

Anyone can run their own server
XMPP is an open protocol, and most XMPP software is open source
Registering is simple and free
XMPP comes with great features such as end to end encrypted messaging, encrypted voice & video calls, file sharing, and more
Because XMPP is decentralized, different servers can choose to implement different features. This means picking the right server is important. This used to be difficult, but now a new effort by a team of XMPP community veterans solves this problem.

The XMPP Providers resource is a collaborative effort to collect and categorize XMPP providers based on their features.
