   @lnxw48 federated IM? Is that essentially it?

     @cmhobbs I would suggest getting a separate XMPP account, which you only use as an alternative !gnusocial feed reader ;) (and then have that feed show up with irssi-xmpp instead of generating a phone notification each time) cc: @jim @lnxw48
     Maybe the !xmpp plugin should allow setting a specific resource to send to as well, then you wouldn't get the message to your phone at all (except with carbons enabled, but it shouldn't PING) and only to the specified XMPP client (again, like irssi-xmpp etc.)

     @cmhobbs @jim @lnxw48 I still don't understand what xmpp is and y'all have explained it to me about a dozen times LOL

     That is exactly what #XMPP (née Jabber) is. And GNU Social has a sort of CLI reachable over XMPP.

     @cmhobbs @jonkulp Even most closed source messengers like WhatsApp use the xmpp protocol.

     @jonkulp XMPP is more than federated IM as we think of IM. More like federated message passing. Might as well be between things (buzzword: #IoT) or people or you use it to negotiate realtime audio/video communication.
     And it is more reliable (though more bound to authentication) than SMTP, which means that even for IM it fills a space in federated internet communication that e-mail doesn't cover.
