I've been running a Prosody server for a month or so. Thus far a positive experience.

I find it strange that this comment first advocates the website author subsidize data collection for big tech, a group which it immediately clarifies "make people's lives miserable".

It's in use right now on Libera.

But if they don't care for IRC then v3 probably won't do much for them.
