Hey, great feedback everyone! It is great to hear not just that there are so many options, but there are all stable! I mean, folks act like non-GMail is the wild west, but folks get by on the federated messaging protocol just fine. I'll compile these results soon, as soon as I get a wikibase going.

@julienxx@tomasino@solderpunk Whaaaaat! I just realized that #finger uses exactly the same format as #gopher!

@timotheus That is what Conversations client and Prosody with files over BOSH does. Like, exactly. Record from the app, upload to server and send link to friend, then they do whatever on their end (like consume and/or save the file).
Right now I am using #bash and #curl to take a list of games I own in Steam (903) obtained via the Steam Web API, and create a new post in #Discourse via it's API.
