    This is exactly what i was thinking about for the last few weeks (but am too stupid to implement myself).

    It’s like email just for IM…

      You're in luck: Some people already thought of this, submitted an RFC to the IETF and implemented it. It goes by the name XMPP.

        XMPP is terrible though. To be fair so is email. And activitypub. Maybe federation is just terrible.
