The blabber.im #XMPP server shuts down tomorrow.
Although we're now in the final hours, I've been working all week towards something to help. I've put up an initial version of a web-based XMPP account migrator at https://migrate.modernxmpp.org/
It's rushed and still a bit rough round the edges right now, but I really hope it is useful to people who still have data and contacts to migrate before blabber.im goes offline.
If you use it, let me know how it goes! 🙂
@strypey
Agreed. Such a code would ideally be committed to ahead of time, too (it could help inform users selecting a service). For example in this case there were multiple offers of help, including reputable admins of other public XMPP services willing to bring the service under their wing, but they were declined.
@mattj
Weird. Do you know why those offers were rejected?
