slrpnk.net already has its own XMPP chat option where one’s Lemmy username (e.g. user@slrpnk.net) is one’s XMPP address, and I imagine that other instances could do something similar if they wanted. XMPP is federated, so it doesn’t require any Lemmy-side coding for the federation aspect. For instance-wide chat (visible to all users of the instance), an implementation in XMPP would probably be easier as well, perhaps using some form of the group chat functionality. What does your proposal offer that cannot be done using XMPP?

In the Amazon, the vast majority of deforestation occurs along roadways.

The main highways are not so much a problem in themselves, but they spawn secondary roads used for deforestation.

I imagine that the case is similar in other forested areas.
