Wasn't XMPP EEE'd by Google? Not to say that Meta is any better of course
There was no "Extinguish". XMPP still continues on.
By the way, Facebook also did the same. The original Facebook Messenger was based on XMPP as well.
essentially, yes. Google Talk was based on XMPP.
@CrazyDuck @confluence ahoy!
No, I don't think so? As far as I can tell all extensions were public, in particular Jingle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle_(protocol)
Disclosure: I worked on gTalk towards the end of its lifetime and was the person responsible for (sadly) turning down federation.
