For a protocol that's often accused of accumulating vast amounts of metadata, it's surprisingly difficult to determine how many people use #XMPP and which clients they prefer.

I’m going to be at the Berlin XMPP Meetup on Wednesday, February 12th, chatting about what happened at the XMPP Summit.
I’ll either be discussing it with friends who were there or, if you want to join us, we’d be happy to share a summary of what’s new in the world of #XMPP!
@famfo I looked at the "XMPP Software Comparison" page:
https://xmpp.org/software/software-comparison/
...and put my 4 favorite #XMPP clients in there: #Conversations #Gajim #Dino and #Monal. It compares compatibility across many XEPs.
Alas, when it comes to #OMEMO, no distinction is made as to the version of OMEMO.

OMEMO compatibility is just shown as all-compatible
Some time ago, #Conversations_im started preferring direct TLS on port 5223 for servers without SRV records, falling back to 5222 if necessary.
Here’s what server administrators should do:
· Ensure direct TLS is configured and accessible.
· If using SRV records, prioritize _xmpps-client._tcp by assigning it a lower priority value.
@daniel the two worst "footguns" I encountered when setting up #Prosody 0.12.3 in #Debian 12 were - you're not going to like this - enabling TLS, not STARTTLS (ruins upload.sampledomain.com capability), and trying to use SRV records (made an honest attempt, couldn't get it to fly).
These "footguns" wasted two brutally unenjoyable days of my life, until I scaled back these progressive wishes.
The #XMPP community should move away from STARTTLS.
· It's slower than direct TLS.
· It adds complexity and increases the attack surface.
· With SNI & ALPN widely deployed and encryption now mandatory, it no longer serves a purpose.

XMPP merchandise shirts to support us
I'm skipping #FOSDEM this year, but the #XMPP Standards Foundation will be there! Stop by the Realtime Lounge¹ to chat about XMPP, pick up some merch, and maybe grab a #Conversations_im sticker—while supplies last! 🚀

I don’t usually do this kind of evangelism, but if you’re looking for a reason to try #XMPP on #GlobalSwitchDay, now’s the perfect time: #Conversations_im is currently free on Google Play!

@maple @menel you can use #xmpp with easy onboarding just like with any of these centralized chat systems:
1. just install an app (conversations, monal, Dino, gajim), create an account on some server (these apps usually provide a list to pick from) and you are good to go. Mostly like email (e.g. choose a provider, create an account there and configure your mail app to use it)

On my way to Brussels! I'll be attending the annual #XMPP Summit and #FOSDEM, and I'm looking forward to the next few days immensely!
Nerding out on #opensource, open communication standards and meeting up with old friends is one of the highlights of my year.
Let me know if you are around! Maybe we can meet up!

@Jeff @snikket_im @gajim ah, I should have mentioned it: snikket im is an easy to install #xmpp server for family and friends deployments based on the well known prosody.im #xmpp server and developed by one of the prosody devs.
It has a nice web interface to simplify maintenance even further and can be installed via docker and other means.
I made a simply Grafana dashboard to show some metrics of the Pimux.de XMPP server. Quite interesting to see the usage of my server varying during the day.
I’m still happy to see so many people using XMPP on a regular basis!

A Grafana dashboard with 6 panels. One of them shows two big numbers: 675 online users and 6090 registered users. The other 5 panels are showing a graph within 24 hours: size of file storage, about 23 GB. Online users between 600 and 1200. Registered users 6091 dropping to 6090. Client-To-Client connection for IPv4 and IPv6 and Server-To-Server Connections.
