Was it Facebook that killed xmpp or Google? Legitimately asking because I've always seen that blamed on Google.

    It was Google, they Embraced, Extended, and Extinguished it with Google Chat. Then they killed that themselves.

    correction: it was both! fedbook chat also supported xmpp at first, they never federated but you could at least use it with a jabber client. then when they had enough market share they killed it.

    fun semi related fact is that whatsapp, at least a couple of years ago, was using modified ejabberd (ie an xmpp server) as the backend - so arguably they helped with EEE too.
