10 年后我的账号还可以使用吗？

XMPP/Jabber was standardized in the early 2000s (20 years ago) and some hosted services are just a few years younger. They will probably still operate a decade from now. Other servers are operated by non-profits with a sustainable model: associations promoting free-software and privacy (like April, 5July and La Quadrature), non-profit Internet Service Providers (like franciliens.net and ARN), associations dedicated to Jabber/XMPP (like jabber.fr and many others), or hosting cooperatives (like disroot). These servers have good chances to still operate ten years from now.

由企业、大学和爱好者运营的其他服务器可能在十年后仍会运营，因为托管 Jabber/XMPP 服务所需的资源很少。然而，无法确定，因为他们的经济模式和激励可能与用户利益不一致。不过，在 Jabber/XMPP 生态系统中，停止运营的运营者通常会提前很长时间通知用户（因为没有商业动机不这样做），以便用户有时间迁移到另一台服务器。

对于系统管理员来说，托管 Jabber/XMPP 服务并不复杂，因此最面向未来的选择可能是运行自己的服务器。如果您是非营利协会、合作社或其他具有专门系统管理团队的集体实体的成员，可以考虑运行自己的服务器。如果您的服务已由第三方托管合作社处理，并且您相信他们将长期继续运营，可以要求他们为您托管 Jabber/XMPP 服务，作为常规 Web/电子邮件/DNS 服务的补充。

XMPP 的设计易于扩展，近年来已发展成为一个现代的实时通讯生态系统。如果你对十年前的体验有不好的回忆，建议你再次尝试。一些较老的客户端可能没有现代通讯工具所期望的所有功能，但我们主页上推荐的客户端应该能满足需求。如果不是这样，请告诉我们。

Also, XMPP being a standard protocol, all proposals are reviewed and evolved publicly, mostly on spaces hosted by the XMPP Standards Foundation. This may sound like it prevents innovation, but in fact it is quite the contrary. The specification process, however cumbersome it is, does not prevent developers from extending existing features or implementing new ones because a new specification is not approved (yet). It merely helps other developers get up to speed if and when they want to.
