I was going to say that Facebook Messenger does work with XMPP but double checking just now, it seems that was deprecated a year ago and will disappear at the end of next month. Huh.

Also, it never supported federation. Which is the email equivalent of gmail users only being able to email other gmail users.

it's a real shame - both facebook and google tried to use XMPP but have since removed support.

I think Google still work with XMPP but not 100%.
