  • XMPP akka Jabber was the chat back in the day, if you wanted to chat one on one, and didn’t want msn and other random corporate messangers - jabber was it.

    All geeky/techy friends were on jabber, others were on skype and some other networks through time.

    That’s why Pidgin ( https://www.pidgin.im/plugins/?publisher=all&query=&type=) was important it implemented all those messaging protocols together.

    But one year, all of a sudden, everyone got on jabber! Thise from Facebook and those from Google. Google Talk was great, all my friends were online and reachable. Good days.

    Than they killed it. And it all stopped. Not only for us on jabber, but for everyone. But jabber god destroyed, no one was there anymore. We all felt that emptiness and it was not fun anymore.

    Wether they did it intentionally or by accident doesn’t matter. If you go with your truck over kids bike intentionally to destroy it or just want to pass - doesn’t matter at the end.

    I am not sure what would happen in that instance, thou I guess it would be good to have server outside their jurisdiction (if that is legal).

    Technically thay can easily block all federation domains, but question is legality of doing it without due process.

    But someone talking about blocking communication between people does not care about legality.
