    The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform.

    Probably because of spam? I don’t think you can open up all the communicators to every self hosted server there is. It would be a disaster.

      I don’t think I ever got spam from any jabber server even when google and Facebook were running them. You still have to opt in to messages from something. If I had to guess ,I’d guess every chat service is still an xmpp server under a surface level encryption.
