For a while back then, I thought XMPP was going to solve integration between messaging apps. I even wrote a "serverless" multi-player game in college that used a chatroom as a link between game instances.
People on imessage and messenger could talk to eachother through xmpp for a short while iirc.
There was a glorious time where I had a single messaging app on my PC with Facebook Messenger contacts, Google Chat contacts, friends using Jabber specifically, and contacts on an IM popular in my country (think MSN).
All together in a single app.
Pidgin is still around, I got teams, discord and element on it.
