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

XMPP and Matrix are already there. Image source

Actually… a bridge between XMPP, Matrix and Fedi-based private messages would be interesting.

For XMPP and ActivityPub it already exists as part of the Libervia project.

It would be great to be able any of these clients with any of these servers and that all users could talk to each other

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.

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

what do you have in mind? Jabber/XMPP is very similar.

It runs on any old raspberry pi (any but raspberry pi 1 I believe) in your house, can be used by family and friends as well. Has iOS and Android apps… I have had good experiences with the easy to set up https://snikket.org/ XMPP server.

Matrix.org has been there for years.

I believe dansup is working on a chat app for the Fediverse.
