Do you think that it’s possible to build a web service to chat compatible with email , xmpp and matrix?
(and why not even with activityPub or rocketChat ?? )

I've wondered before now about an e-mail system which hosts the emails on one's own device, and uses the activity-pub protocol : decentralised email, I guess...

The closest I've seen is Tox.

The problem with peer2peer messaging is:

Though several apps that use the Tox protocol seem similar in function to regular instant messaging apps, the lack of central servers similar to XMPP or Matrix currently has the consequence that both parties of the chat need to be online for the message to be sent and received (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tox_(protocol)#Usability_as_an_instant_messenger )

That's why I think about using only decentralized protocol.

Both (decentralized and p2p) are usefull, but that not the same usage.
