You're right. I should have written "made irrelevant" or "tamed and turned into a niche". I somehow misused the #embraceextendextinguish mada infamous by #microsoft
Many people included me happily used #googletalk because it used XMPP. I wouldn't have used it if I knew they planned to defederate. I like to think that avoiding federating to #meta could make people conscious. Alternatively we could inform Facebook users but I fear it's an easily lost battle 😥
@snikket_im @lightweight

@MyMulligan @jherazob I disagree.

I think the key thing is to just make sure that you don't use non #FOSS clients. #GoogleTalk started as a client for #XMPP, people migrated to it, and then #Google dropped support for #XMPP. If so many people didn't use #GoogleTalk, the #XMPP network would have remained unimpeded.

@sj_zero Interesting.

I wonder if my osmosis theory was correct, that #GoogleTalk had no users before they embraced #XMPP

Technically #Project92 / #Barcelona / #Threads have only a handful of users, some celebrities, but within a week I'm sure they'll have millions of users

#GoogleChat is just like #GoogleTalk which I loved back in the day. Let's hope they'll not decide to bury it, now that I started using it...

Let me guess, the fear is that #meta wants to #embrace_extend_extinguish #activitypub the same way Google did it with #xmpp several years ago with #googletalk, have I correctly guessed?
@pettter

@Zak8022 if it’s of any consolation, it’s a Google messaging platform. Its days are limited. #googletalk #googlehangouts #googleduo #googleallo etc

@downey #Google already did with #XMPP: first supporting it in #GoogleTalk, then "defederating" other servers then dropping XMPP. A classic example of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish! #AvoidGoogle @janriemer @dma

I wish I had #journaled, over the years. It's nice to look back on what the minutiae of your life were like at some random point in the past. The closest I get to that is stumbling upon a random Google chat when I am searching for an email. I guess the #GoogleTalk era was the closest I have to a journal.

@gholk #XMPP 要大復活了嗎 ? #GoogleTalk 要起死回生了嗎 :o

@jaczad #Thunderbird wspiera obsługę czatów jedynie w standardowych otwartych protokołach takich jak #XMPP #IRC. #GoogleChat nie jest oparty na żadnym z tych protokołów (od zamknięcia #GoogleTalk w 2013 r.) Tak więc w tym kliencie go nie podepniesz. Możesz co najwyżej stworzyć własną integrację usług Google na podstawie udostępnionej przez #Google dokumentacji https://developers.google.com/chat

確實很有趣 :最近網路服務吹起一小陣 decentralized 風, 但為何 #IM #即時通訊 大家只是換家 #telegram 或 #Signal 而不是 decentralized 的 #jabber 方案呢 ?
話說以前 #GoogleTalk 的年代確實是有摸過一下 #XMPP , 但也就那麼一下... XD
