And what does it mean that I’ve never even heard of either of these?

Exactly.

Facebook never interoperated with any of those, or any other platforms, so I’m not sure what your point is.

Facebook messenger literally integrated with XMPP to do exactly what Meta is clearly planning with Threads. It’s right out of their own playbook. You are factually incorrect.

XMPP commited suicide when for several years it refused to standardize on file/image transfer, and audio/video calls.

Guess what end-users kept demanding, and kept failing with XMPP.

LOL you don’t realize that you’re proving my point.

They added compatibility in 2010, then scrubbed it in 2015.

And…those services suddenly stopped functioning?
