@urixturing @timbray @pluralistic On Facebook's lack of interoperability by design (1/2):
Way back in 2008, Facebook announced that Facebook chat would be interoperable with Jabber/XMPP, a widely-used open messaging protocol.
The feature was added in 2010[1]. Google Talk used the same protocol.
Facebook cynically used XMPP support to draw in millions of XMPP users before dropping support in 2014.

  Facebook Chat Launches XMPP Support | TechCrunch
  
  from Jason Kincaid
  
  If you're a fan of Facebook Chat but haven't been able to use it in your favorite chat client, good news: Facebook has just launched support for Jabber/XMPP, an open protocol that makes it very easy for any chat client or web service to integrate Facebook Chat (it's also the same protocol used by Google Talk). Facebook first announced that it was working on implementing Jabber/XMPP support way back in May 2008, and rumors that XMPP support was on its way began anew in November. There's a chance that this will lead to a surge in Facebook Chat usage, since it can now be easily integrated into just about every chat client out there, including iChat and AIM.
