Worth noting that this isn't my first foray into XMPP. I did use it about 20 years ago, using OpenFire XMPP server. OpenFire now has some LLM slop in it, whereas ejabberd is clean (for now).

Apparently ejabberd also supports Matrix, so maybe if I do formally decommission the Matrix server I set up, I'll just migrate to using my XMPP server for joining Matrix.

The test channels I set up, I'll see if I can bridge them between XMPP and Matrix too… but for now, I'm just waiting for `pkgsrc` to do its thing.
