friendly XMPP server (#17956)
Hi,

Personally, I would prefer not to dedicate any effort into this sort
of XMPP outreach, because:
- I see the move we're going to make later this month as a temporary
stop-gap measure, rather than as a long term endorsement of XMPP.
There are chances we migrate away from XMPP entirely in the
not-too-distant future.
- I don't believe the XMPP ecosystem is good enough for our users
that we should spend time encouraging them to use it more.
Quite the opposite, actually.
- We're talking about very, very few people here (Tails users who
try, and manage to connect to our users mutual support chat room)
⇒ whatever we choose here, the impact is almost negligible.
