My family uses a self-hosted Prosody instance with the Conversations app on Android and Dino/Gajim on the desktop. It works great.

Combined with JMP.chat, we even get SMS and voice calls from the telephone network to all our different XMPP apps. Truly feels like the future.

The technology of yesteryear seems to have more staying power. The protocols churned out by my generation seem destined for either VC/advertisement capture or death by CADT [0]. Maybe with the exception of Signal (so far...)
