Joe Biden's official account is now connected to the Fediverse, thanks to Threads. We'll see if anything comes of it.

Both President Biden and the White House have enabled the Fediverse integration on Threads.

    Google Talk was never Jabber. The Google Jabber integration was way before that in Gmail. Google Talk was what came after Google decided to abandon Jabber.

    And yes Google very much held Jabber back by having the largest user-base in their Gmail integration and refusing to even implement SSL for that let alone supporting any other innovations like better mobile support. If Google had actually supported Jabber instead of sabotaging it, we would not have this discussion.

      Wikipedia says otherwise.

      Google kills messaging services all the time and launches new, incompatible ones. Google did not sabotage Jabber, they sabotage their own chat services all the time.
