Thats why i like decentralised messaging (XMPP/Jabber). If a Jabber server goes down, it only affects the users on that particular server, not all users worldwide.

Technically, XMPP is federated (like SMTP) rather than decentralized (like Kademlia).

Point about single-server downtime still stands, of course.
