Directory 404: Open list of public XMPP servers

About

Open directory of public XMPP servers has been created to allow server administrators to provide their servers without preconditions. The only important criteria for adding a site to this directory is that the XMPP server is public and clearly points to this. It is not our task to create closed lists for the self-appointed elite. We believe that users should choose the right server for themselves, and not rely on someone else's limited opinion

XMPP is a federated network and there is contention between servers. Many times we have been denied inclusion in the lists of XMPP servers, the owners of which position themselves as "for everyone". The reasons for the refusal were sometimes not given, sometimes they were ridiculous. Because some of the reasons are quite funny, you can smile a little and see them here:

• Your server allows you to display files that are too large. Reduce the size of allowed files, to the size of my server
• Your server is not old enough. Earn respect on the streets!
• I will add your server to the list, but I will come up with a negative review because it does not accept my invalid certificate
• This is an open list for a select few. I only add my friends to the list
• You must be homosexual to be added to this list.
• Your server runs on gasoline. We accept servers powered only by electricity

The purpose of creating this server directory is to provide users with complete freedom of choice without any manipulation of opinions, and for server administrators a place free from any preconceived opinions and human factors. We refuse any evaluation of sites to be added to the list. The purpose of the directory is to provide freedom of information to visitors, not misinformation bubbles
