In-reply-to » I can't do XMPP. I just can't. It's so fucking complicated, uses a bazillion ports I have to punch into my firewall and all kinds of stupid bits of configuration that you really don't give two shits about for a small instance.

@mckinley@twtxt.net Honestly, I appreciate your offer, but I’ve given up on this. I’ve spent ~2hrs on this already looking at ejabberd, got it running and got Beagle-IM to connect to it.

I’ve looked into Prosody which @jan6@twtxt.net on IRC also mentioned, but getting that working properly in my infra is also going to be “too hard”. They “claim” to support Let’s Encrypt certificates for example, but expect you to run certbert on a server somewhere 🤦‍♂️ – I give up 😢
