Such a shame fb doesn't do federation and google pretty much killed xmpp altogether. I was this close to having a chat platform other than sms that I enjoyed and could share with non-technical friends without hassle. I loje IRC - but so far not on mobile. Anyone have a favorite (preferably Free as in freedom) cliebt for Android?

Conversations is a nice XMPP client for Android. It's under GPLv3, is in F-Droid and Google Play (costs 1$ in Google Play, though) and is probably the best XMPP client for Android :)

I already use, and enjoy chatsecure for xmpp, I meant an IRC client :-)
