MySpaceIM: Revived
Note: I will not provide support for self-hosting this service unless its for contribution purposes Also I didn’t know where else to put this post, since there’s no MySpaceIM category or something similar
It finally happened, MySpaceIM has finally been revived and is almost ready (and its open source too, proudly written in Golang!)

Closing Notes
Also if anyone here has experience with YMSG or MSNP, please contact us on Discord (linked below) as we would really like to also implement those protocols into our service
And just to clarify, we do not intend to drive people away from Escargot or Phoenix by offering MSN and Yahoo aswell as other protocols in the future, I’m simply just interest in these old protocols and want to build a server myself for the fun of it and to learn
I’ve been working on a complete recode behind the scenes that supports load balancing and distributed servers. I’ll make a new post about it once its ready (probably in 2 decades)
the site is offline and the domain expired. it was worth the cost as the project was inactive for half a year. i will buy a new domain once im ready to beta the service publically
yea im the creator. and no it does not work with MySpace/SpaceHey. This only shared your credentails with the main MySpace service, everything else was seperated.
spacehey and numyspace work nothing like og myspace did, and all attempts to do it properly have failed: if there was a proper myspace revival it still would not be compatible anyways
that and its also purely not in my interest to connect to SpaceHey or NuMySpace right now, as I have no involvement in either project and up until 4 seconds ago had not even heard of NuMySpace. if there will be any tie-in it will either be my own project, TheOpenbook (2004 fb revival thats written with Angular+Go) or SpaceHey but I doubt i’ll get the chance to integrate with spacehey, let alone manage the chaos that would be integration between two services
yea openbook is still not out publically, currently lives on my harddrive. its a wip and has been on the backburner as ive focused more on my game engine and my im server project again
sneak peaks of the re-write. we have both login2, the modern login, and the deprecated “login” implemented. legacy login is tested with 253 however its unknown if any client that exclusively used login over login2 have survived or been lost to time
its not perfect yet, the CDN and cross-protocol routing are still to be implemented however an isolated release for just MySpaceIM could be possible not too far in the future, although it would be just MySpaceIM and none of the social media or other protocols as those are still a work-in-progess. i try to work on it as much as i can but i have a full-time job so its hard to get any hours in sometimes
