      XMPP still exists - and I use it for chatting with one person. Nobody I know uses it. Techies I know use IRC and, more recently, Matrix. Or discord, disappointingly enough.

      And I mention techies because the rest of the world is just happy with WhatsApp/Messenger/Slack et al.

      I never mentioned google. And sure, xmpp exists but it’s dead and would be much better off if not for big tech giants
