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
which client do you use?
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.
@textmonger I think everyone is opted into updates for polls. didn't look for a setting yet to turn this off.

I love XMPP. People keep trying to make me use Matrix instead but it’s just such a cludge. I find XMPP much easier to use and understand.
I am currently using basically all tools, XMPP, matrix, Discord, also occasionally others like nostr
i failed to use matrix so far. all the clients were fat and slow, and i don't like to use something i don't host, my friend hosts a matrix server, and he had to disable federation from almost all hosts because his hard disk space doesn't allow it, some images and data gets federated from other instances.
