> XMPP is the [Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol](https://xmpp.org/about/technology-overview/), a set of open technologies for instant messaging, presence, multi-party chat, voice and video calls, collaboration, lightweight middleware, content syndication, and generalized routing of XML data.
![:left](/logos/snikket.png)That means you can pick from many different clients and have a free choice of server operators to communicate with me. I've chosen to use [Snikket](https://snikket.org/) which makes it easy to self-host your own server for truly-decentralized, federated, end-to-end encrypted communications which doesn't rely on servers run by unknown parties.
![:left](/logos/snikket.png)It is an open, proven, supported, and extensible standard. Practically speaking, this means that any number of XMPP client-and-server combinations can communicate successfully with any other combinations. I've chosen to use [Snikket](https://snikket.org/) which makes it easy to self-host your own server for truly-decentralized, federated, end-to-end encrypted communications which doesn't rely on servers run by unknown parties.
Unlike many other XMPP solutions, though, Snikket doesn't support open registrations; in order to use the Snikket client you'll need to either host your own Snikket server or find someone willing to invite you to create an account on theirs. Users of other XMPP clients and servers can still communicate with Snikket users though thanks to the magic of open standards and federation.
