   Excuse me for sounding retarded, but would it be possible to use XMPP for cross-instance DMs?

     @dtluna OK, then why aren't we doing it?

     @dwmatiz @dtluna Because it would involve setting up another server and there is no integration with existing GS.

     @dogjaw @dtluna @dwmatiz It wouldn't be too hard to do it, even without backend support, but why? People can already use xmpp to contact each other.

     @dwmatiz They don't need to interact at all. You'd need to run an XMPP server on the same domain as the GS server and unify the account data (with LDAP or something). Diaspora went that route for chat.

     @lambadalambda But that would mean no notifications/mentions etc. through the web interface or mobile clients, right?

     @dwmatiz You could integrate an xmpp client in the web interface, that's how diaspora does it, and use a regular xmpp client on your phone.
     
     I'm actually a bit surprised that so few GS servers also run XMPP, but I guess noone wants to set up LDAP.
