There are plenty. Have a look at BuddyPress for example. Just use Google.

cool

but i thought of something decentralised where multiple servers can interact with another so one could prevent the centralisation of personal data.

I haven't come across anything decentralised yet. It sounds interesting though. Perhaps you should develop it?

I for myself are just scared of big commercial sites like facebook getting popular it would be cool if something like this would work decentralised.

I have never coded with XMPP or so but maybe one could have additional account data on the server and with a proper XMPP client you can request user profiles just like emails or so. And taht way you could also write a web client for it.

But again this looks like a lot of work and i hoped someting like this would exist.

How would I go on writing/proposing a Jabber-Extension?
