A slight tangent, are there public XMPP servers? Are there open source projects that use XMPP for their public channels? I'm a little dismayed by how many Slack accounts I'm acquiring.

There are loads of them. https://xmpp.net/directory.php has a (not-so-up-to-date) list.

DuckDuckGo offers a great public XMPP service - https://duck.co/blog/xmpp-services-at-duckduckgo

Well snap. I just wonder what happens when some TLA comes knocking...

In my opinion, it doesn't matter if it looks like Slack. What matters is that I can deploy it on an existing infrastructure and still have control over the service instead of handing over control to a third-party.

Let's keep in mind that Slack looks like IRC.

I've been working with XMPP and a number of XMPP daemons. A couple years later I'm not a fan.

If you have tried Prosody and have any feedback on it, I'm all ears (or drop us an email at developers (at) prosody.im). I love to receive feedback (of any kind), as it's the only way we know what we're doing right and wrong!

OK, you have my attention. I having been working with ejabberd and openfire. I'll take a look at prosody. If I have time I'll get back to you.

You can use OTR or GPG on top of XMPP.

I am glad projects like these are being worked on. Desktop XMPP programs are terrible. I have had a hard time hosting my own chat service for friends,family and work because the clients never work together for file transfers.

I just wish these were easier ''FOR ME'' to install on FreeBSD.
