Stephen Paul Weberposted, “I think used is an overstatement. They had a half-built gateway, but it wasn’t part of the main product anyone used (I used it, but their main apps did not)” in reply to @ 2025-039.686Z

Stephen Paul Weberposted, “It wasn’t a change per se, those are names for two different things. Jabber is still the name of the federated network. XMPP is the name of the protocol (like for email it is SMTP).” in reply to @ 2024-357.034Z
