Hmmm. I see, and to some degree supposed so. The usual mess of big 
players ditching open protocols for particular reasons, which is what 
leaves us with a dozen of different messengers on the phone with one or 
two contacts in each... :|

But is there sort of an outline of what features are still available and 
how to make use of these with GNOME online accounts? At the moment, I do 
have accounts configured, in "Online accounts" but that doesn't seem to 
do anything in any application...

Cheers,
