Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?
Looks like ICQ is finally shutting down, just as interest in retro internet tools is growing.

I have been advocating for a while how easy it is to integrate a lightweight XMPP server with fediverse instances. The accounts can be easily linked and the user address is the same.
Here on slrpnk.net for example every member automatically also has an XMPP account.
dam that’s awesome, is your code open source? I want this for .ee

It has some smaller issues, but overall it works well.

Every modern XMPP server supports XMPP over HTTPS (via BOSH or Websockets) and it works just fine.
But I wasn’t actually taking about integrating it in the UI of the fediverse instance itself. Which would be nice to have, but really not vital at all if you have a nice mobile chat client.
