> It's like people saying Slack will one day will replace IRC or XMPP. It will never happen. XMPP has already been "replaced" by Google Hangouts, Facebook Chat, and WhatsApp, which are all proprietary extensions of XMPP. Very few of my friends use a chat service which allows XMPP federation. Facebook chat doesn't even allow you to use a third-party XMPP client anymore. "Embrace, extend, extinguish" is still very much alive.

I use fb chat with chat secure on android. Xmpp seems to work fine?

  I found that group chat on Facebook doesn't work through XMPP.

    True enough.

  How? According to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat https://developers.facebook.com/docs/chat XMPP access was disabled at the end of April.

    Oh. Well, then I used to use XMPP with fb chat :-/ (I'm not sure when they killed it - chat secure doesn't appear to log in now, and the last message I received via fb was apparently on May 4th).

      Hm. It's back - Just got a fb message via xmpp.

I really don't see how it was replaced. Now we just have three or more smaller products that some people use. many people still use XMPP and magnitudes more use XMPP and don't even know it.

I've been using Facebook chat via bitlbee (which uses Jabber/XMPP) for several months. It was supposed to stop working on April 30th, but for some reason it does still work.
