Ah, Jabber... Reminds me of ICQ (R.I.P.).

Trust me, Signal won't be added.

How would you know?
The EU has different opinions when the criteria are met.

Your German is better than mine, but this is an article from 2 years
ago:

If the small providers want they can interconnect.
But they don't want to interconnect because they fear they could or
would be forced to compromise their security concepts. Which I clearly understand.

But once the small ones are big enough they have to interconnect.

Instant messengers are all proprietary.

Currently, yes. Wasn't always the case. Back in the day Jabber (now XMPP - >> stupid name) was great.

Yes, we used Jabber for 'chat' between the engineers in our part of
our company. Both within the office and between work-at-home engineers.
(Yes, we already (partially) worked at home in the later 90s. I'm still somewhat amused about all the hoopla about it in the recent/current
time.)

We also used some other (incompatible?) chat client/system earlier or later, but can't remember the name of that one.

Slack is the preferred method for technical people nowadays. I don't get
the attraction.

Those years I did not have a permanent connection to internet, so I
could not use such things.

And when I got a mobile maybe on 1998 or 99 it only could do SMS, I think.
