Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?

Looks like ICQ is finally shutting down, just as interest in retro internet tools is growing.

what do you have in mind? Jabber/XMPP is very similar.

It runs on any old raspberry pi (any but raspberry pi 1 I believe) in your house, can be used by family and friends as well. Has iOS and Android apps... I have had good experiences with the easy to set up https://snikket.org/ XMPP server.
