XMPP didn’t work on mobile. You had to have the app running to receive messages, and the battery wasn’t large enough to keep the CPU powered up all day.
@abhibeckert@dark_stang where are you getting all of this from?! Apps run in the background all the time, and there were mobile XMPP clients around back in the day. Pretty sure even Skype did XMPP for a bit.

Somebody not being able to message me while I’m offline is a fantastic feature that I wish we still had. I miss that.
IIRC Slack did something similar with IRC.
