> When Google dropped XMPP

AFAIK they only dropped federation and support, but I still can connect with any XMPP client.

They really just dropped support and left it a broken mess. It kinda looks like you can federate with them if you disable TLS, but messages are apparently just dropped. This is worse than if they just killed it, as people tend to blame XMPP instead of Google.
