Happy Birthday to #InstantMessaging and #RealTimeCommunication with #XMPP!

Emerged from the #Jabber #community in 1999 and originally designed to provide an open and #decentralised alternative to #ICQ and #MSN, XMPP evolved to an independent alternative for todays #chat apps.

Happy Jabber Day 🎂 🥳

On January 4, 1999, Jabber was first announced to the public¹.

Twenty-seven years later, Jabber—or XMPP, as it became known after standardization through the #IETF—remains the only truly vendor-independent, federated instant messaging platform.

In almost three decades, XMPP has never stopped evolving and remains our best tool for digital independence.

#DigitalIndependenceDay #Jabber #XMPP #DiDit #DigitalSovereignty #DiDay #JabberDay

#JabberDay is a good time for #contemplation.
Let's think about what we like most about #Jabber.

For me most important: #XMPP is truely #universal!

It's for private #chat like Briar or Delta,
it's for group chat like IRC or Matrix,
it's for #IoT like MQTT or AMQP,
it's for #socialNetworks like ActivityPub or Diaspora.

What's important to you?

Tomorrow is #JabberDay 2026!

#Jabber is the #fediverse of #chat!

Was mir immer wieder auffällt ist, dass immer weniger Menschen zur #Kommunikation offene Standard verwenden und sich diese dann auf das Smartphone verlagert.

Alle wissen es, nur eine Familie nicht. Warum? Wir haben es doch in die ***** Gruppe geschrieben.

Diese ***** Gruppe will man vielleicht schon alleine wegen dem Unternehmen nicht, aber sie ist vielleicht auch nur auf dem Smartphone mit Mobilefunknummer verwendbar.

Dies ist oft auch dann der Fall, wenn eigentlich beispielsweise E-Mail als offizieller Kommunikationskanal verwendet werden sollte. Sobald neben der E-Mail eine ***** Gruppe existiert, ist man ohne Smartphone "raus".

Das sind meiner persönlichen Erfahrungen, die ich immer öfter mache.
