I don't think it's really that usable anymore (the only front-end for it I'm aware of is Empathy, which AFAIK is long dead), but I'd like to put in a special mention for Telepathy. It is (was?) a DBus specification for interfacing with and managing chat backends that had an implementation for XMPP.
I've only heard of pidgin and I haven't used it in well over a decade
I'm not familiar with any of them.

which client do you use?
I don't xmpp. :-) I received the bubble notification to respond, and what I really needed to see was an option like "I don't xmpp" to vote for.

oh, interesting, why did you get notified? probably because you follow the subspace? eh, didn't think about having the option, since... let's say there is a question 'which photographic film do you use have in your camera?', and why would anyone who doesn't shoot film photos respond? or which drone do u own? it felt natural to me that if you don't fly drones, why would you reply? i mean then any question about xmpp - 'which xep draft for stickers you like more' would need to have option about not using xmpp, and also not needing stickers.

If I am following s/xmpp, it would have been due to some blunder due to not understanding aspects of bubble. I've definitely not had much experience here, so it's easy to imagine appearing more on the clueless end of the spectrum when participating.
@textmonger I think everyone is opted into updates for polls. didn't look for a setting yet to turn this off.
