     @hakona @peterkal @atomicpoet @fediversenews Some federation instances use to support XMPP, though no idea on which ones still do. Many of them sadly do not anymore these days.

     @peterkal @atomicpoet @fediversenews Google is your friend (until it's not)
     https://xmpp.org/ . Open instant messaging protocol. There was a time you could use any compliant instant-messaging app to send (Facebook) "messenger" messages. So, some people built up a network of contacts, and used it WITHOUT logging in to the facebook app/web-page. Suddenly pidgin and other chat clients were unable to authenticate, and you HAD to use Facebook to receive/send messages.
