Gajim 2.3 has been released 🥳
A fresh new look for Gajim arrived! 😎
With this release Gajim introduces Adwaita, a library providing styles, nicely designed user interface elements, animations and more. Many dialogs, including Preferences and Plugin management have been redesigned.
This release is available on Windows again - finally!

Main window of Gajim 2.3, showing chats and a conversation
Looks like the Jabber/XMPP community will have a booth at @FrOSCon this year.
August 16th and 17th. Save the date. See you there.
I promise we will bring stickers!
For the next release of #Conversations_im I’m switching the default for showing all messages, including sent ones, left aligned, to 'on' for all tablets.
Combine this with disabling 'Colorful chat bubbles' and this looks pretty clean and almost like a regular desktop app.
This post is also a reminder to existing tablet users that those two settings exist. Too bad there aren’t that many of you.

😐 Ich finds ja spannend, wie viele Leute gerade im Rahmen der Einführung von Werbung bei #WhatsApp nölen, man möge bitte nicht andere zentrale Dienste wie #Signal und Co empfehlen und nutzen, sondern föderierende wie #Matrix und #XMPP. Ich finde es nicht verkehrt, darauf hinzuweisen. Aber ignorant bis arrogant finde ich es, so zu tun als ob das alles total trivial und easy wäre. Die meisten Leute wollen einfach nur Chatten und und das im Idealfall auch möglichst sicher. Die mentalen Kapas für komplexe Lösungen sind leider zunehmend begrenzt.
XMPP und Matrix sind auch heute noch in der Föderation Clusterfucks, die meilenweit hinter der Usability und dem Komfort der zentralen Dienste hinterherhinken. Das liegt teilweise auch ihrer föderierenden Natur – aber wie weit sie dann tatsächlich von einer reibungslosen Nutzbarkeit in vielen Szenarien weg sind, ist das größte Problem. Gut zu sehen am Beispiel Matrix/Element, wo man alles hätte besser machen können. (1/?)
#XMPP leidet seit Jahren darunter, dass kein Client wie der andere funktioniert. So hat es zig Jahre gebraucht bis #OMEMO in den wichtigsten Clients vertreten war und dann stolperte man auch noch lange danach über die unterschiedlichen Implementierungen und Defaults. Tja, steckt halt kein Geld drin, alles historisch gewachsen. Immerhin laufen XMPP-Server auf Kartoffeln.
#Matrix-Server nicht, aber dafür wollte man alles besser machen: Dicke Finanzierung, große Akteure an Bord geholt, Standardclient #Element, der quasi die anzustrebenden Feature-Defaults vorgibt. Und jetzt geh ich als Newbie auf die offizielle Seite von Element und will den Messenger runterladen: https://element.io/download
Dort wird mir dann #ElementX nahegelegt. Blöd ist nur, dass das Ding zig Sachen nicht kann, die man über Jahre hinweg beim alten Element eingeführt hat und wo viele Leute inzwischen drauf bauen. X hat keine Unterstützung für Spaces, keine Nachrichten-Threads, keine Nachrichten-Suche. In meinen Matrix-Gruppen hab ich ständig Diskussionen, ob wir dieses oder jenes Feature nutzen können, weil Client XY es nicht unterstützt – darunter der FRICKING Hauptmessenger von #Matrix. Es ist zum Verzweifeln. 😫 (2/?)
boostedGajim's website gajim.org just got a fresh new look! 😎

#XMPP channels (#MUCs) work well for me. What do you miss compared to Matrix? I only use Matrix via an XMPP bridge, therefore I might miss the best parts 🙂
Btw.: If I'm not mistaken, #Jabber allows entering public channels semi-anonymously (i.e. only server and group admins see your real id, but other members don't), while Matrix does not have that option?

The XMPP Newsletter Logo
You seem to imply that we have to choose between:
- a safer space that has a strong CoC, a mediation process, wants to encourage diversity/inclusivity/plurality of opinions, wants to actively seek and include 2slgbtqia+ people in its decision making.
- an Organization that have/want none of these.
I would much rather have a community that knows a bit less of XMPP but will get better over time in a safe space.
We want to instead enable 2SLGBTQIA+ people to be directly involved by:
- create stuff that they need without needing approval from people that do not have their experience (most often cishet people)
- Block and/or reform proposals/features/documentation or anything else that is excluding them or makes it harder for them to exist
- advocate for things that benefit them by participating in decision making.

Happy Pride Month!! 🏳️⚧️️🏳️🌈️💜️
Its no secret that historically XMPP has done/is doing a bad job as an ecosystem and protocol to develop features that aid 2SLGBTQIA+ people to be their true selves or protect them from abuse.
With Pride Month happening we are taking the next step after creating our own CoC and advocating for CoCs to be adopted. Historically 2SLGBTQIA+ people have been "advisors" or just an opinion to listen to.

@delta For #Conversations_im I literally developed the UI first. I had a somewhat working UI before I was able to put a single #XMPP message on the wire.
A shared library between different platforms is a good thing. People are trying to do this in XMPP (Snikket SDK, Macaw, Prose) and if I were to start something new for Conversations I'd use something like Kotlin Multiplatform too.
However there is also value in diversity of implementations and the good ideas will prevail concept of XMPP.
Moderators/owners of XMPP rooms and communities, lets all work together to built healthier and safer communities in XMPP.
XMPP has been suffering for a while from not being inclusive and not having sustainable moderation.
If we want to promote or encourage people and communities to use XMPP we need to first do the work in our communities to do better.
Please see the JoinJabber criteria for listing rooms and try to follow them as much as you can.

Developers at work at the XMPP Berlin Sprint
I'm on my way back from the Berlin XMPP Sprint and had a fantastic time. Thank you so much @debacle for organizing it, and thank you to everyone who participated. It was especially cool to see some new faces; it's pretty amazing that the #XMPP developer community is still able to attract new talent.
I made good progress on finally being able to show full-size avatars (profile pictures) in #Conversations_im. Stay tuned to learn more about that towards the end of this week.
#XMPP Community
The next XMPP #Sprint in #Berlin starts tomorrow! 23rd - 25th May 2025 - it is open to all interested.
