Strongly disagree and this sounds like dangerous FUD to me. For one, there's comparatively zero users across XMPP anyways, and it has a big problem with compatibility across different software packages. It also does nothing to help the problems stated in the video of massive droves of abusive content and server operators unknowingly hosting copies of it across the world. Then there's the privacy and GDPR minefields that come with any decentralized/federated service.
This isn't a problem, the problem is that we lack decent clients. XMPP is the most standardized thing ever, both the core thing and extensions are covered by RFCs but currently there isn't much investment into creating solid clients.
Well, at least a properly configured XMPP server with the relevant extensions won't be a metadata clusterfuck like Matrix is. Nor it will be centered around a spec and software made by a single for profit organization.
Email is federated and nobody is complaining about it.
