Isn't that Jabber? Haven't heard of XMPP in a while.

It's the same thing! XMPP usually refers to the protocol and Jabber the open federation, but since Cisco acquired the Jabber trademark some people have been reluctant to use that name.

And some people think a protocol name is irrelevant and would rather build a consistent product based on open standards: https://snikket.org/blog/products-vs-protocols/
