@adbenitez @rysiek I was ready to boost in the first paragraph, and then I saw the #DeltaChat recommendation 😅

I haven't heard good things about DeltaChat UX. #XMPP allows you to self-host, register on public servers without even providing an email address, and ask non-geek contacts to install Quicksy or Prav (so they can register using phone numbers). It's got AV calls and other features expected in modern chat.

And XMPP is actually made for chat from the ground up.

@risottobias You can find interesting #xmpp channels via: https://search.jabber.network/ or just ask on our main community channel: https://invite.joinjabber.org/#chat@joinjabber.org%3Fjoin

@chbmeyer @kolev @sylv_a @snikket_im
I would say Snikket is a project introducing a uniform branding. A very well preconfigured and easy Snikket server based on prosody, Snikket apps (based on Conversations and Siskin). This means: People do not need to talk about the protocol but can simply say: "I am using Snikket!"
So: You are right: it is #XMPP!

@kolev @sylv_a @snikket_im
Just as an idea: Maybe there should be an #XMPP logo with all the clients logo around (communicating with each other) on the right side of the picture.

@icaria36 why not use #xmpp and #Monal for iOS + #conversations by @daniel on Android?

As very easy to install server there is #snikket @snikket_im see https://snikket.im

@sp6mr You can even use #XMPP to join channels on #Matrix, #IRC, and more 🙂

I've seen a lot of people talking about leaving #WhatsApp. Great!

Only, don't replace one WhatsApp with another.

#Signal and #Threema are centralized services, and just as vulnerable to #enshittification as Twitter or WA.

Instead, use a platform that's standardized and federated - #XMPP, a.k.a. #Jabber.

The easiest way to use it is to install #Quicksy from the Play Store, App Store, or F-Droid.

Or check out my XMPP guide for more options -

@stefan @mrxlix @malteengeler @anneroth #XMPP ist der ältere Wettbewerber von #Matrix, leider ist auch er zu Recht als für "Fortgeschrittene" bei Kuketz Messenger-Matrix aufgeführt. Da wünschte ich auch, es sei für die beiden denzentralen Protokolle besser. Habe beides schon genutzt und bin auf Probleme gestoßen - die lassen sich als IT-Mensch prima umschiffen, aber weniger technikbegeisterte Leute sind da - zu Recht - empfindlicher.

So it only has about 100 people in it (as opposed to over 3,000 in the unofficial Matrix room), but I just discovered that #Debian has an official #XMPP room; debian@conference.debian.org . They also have other ones for kids, non-English languages, etc.

@joelanman Signal is centralized. Centralized services are vulnerable to enshittification, as demonstrated by Reddit, Twitter, and Facebook.

The solution is to use a #federated platform like #XMPP instead.

The easiest way is to use it is to install Quicksy from the Play Store, App Store, or F-Droid - https://quicksy.im

For more curious users, here's a guide to XMPP, with client, server, and public channel recommendations.

11 years into the development of #Conversations_im, I’m still working to enhance its security. Most recently, I’ve added support for XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection.

To take advantage of our continued commitment to security, make sure to:

· Use Conversations rather than a (soon-to-be-abandoned) fork

· Install Conversations through a source that provides automatic updates (F-Droid for Android 12+ or Google Play)

#XMPP

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.

📢 Mickaël Rémond and Jérôme Sautret from ProcessOne will be attending the upcoming XMPP Summit to collaborate on XMPP specifications and participate in discussions shaping the future of real-time messaging.

The gathering takes place in Brussels on 30th & 31st January 2025.

If you're an XMPP Software Foundation member planning to attend, we'd love to see you there! Let's connect and exchange ideas. 💬
