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.
