On the irruption of #Threads of #Meta in the #Fediverse and #Fediblock I have my two cents too.

I too had my own #XMPP server back in the day and federated with #Google and their #GoogleTalk and saw first hand when they unilaterally broke the federation and all my friends stayed there. I ended up so burnt out that I didn't host or manage a server again until this year with #Mastodon.

Sobre la irrupción de #Threads de #Meta en el #Fediverso yo también tengo mis dos centavos.

Yo también tuve mi propio servidor #XMPP en su día y me federé con #Google y su #GoogleTalk y vi de primera mano cuando rompieron unilateralmente la federación y todos mis amigos se quedaron allí. Acabé tan quemado que no volví a alojar ni administrar un servidor hasta este año con #Mastodon.

Pare che finalmente l'Europa voglia aprire i sistemi di #messaggistica.
Sarà possibile usare #matrix per mandare un messaggio a qualcuno su #Whatsapp?
Pare di si e Google si appresta a chiedere anche l'apertura di #imessage di apple:

A quasi 20 anni da #googletalk, che aveva standard aperti con #XMPP, ecco l'infinita serie di fallimenti del reparto messagistica di Google, secondi solo ai tonfi dei progetti social (Gooogle+ in primis):

Google e altri big vogliono che l’Europa classifichi iMessage come gatekeeper

Google e altre aziende chiedono all'Europa di rivalutare la classificazione iMessage di Apple come gatekeeper

#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...
@Dan Jacob @Fediverse News It'd be a continuation of the running joke of #Google being Google. I just forgot to also bet you that they'd shut it down again after less than five years. But I expect them to try before someone else does, even if it's too late to successfully claim they've invented the very concept.

The blatant #Diaspora ripoff #GooglePlus wasn't built to last. #GoogleTalk wasn't either, especially not its federation with the rest of #XMPP.

#GoogleMail will last, also because I guess most people think e-mail = Gmail. And I think too many Android phones are firmly tied to the #GoogleCloud to make it easy to axe it. Not to mention that both are too tempting to data-harvest.

@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
