I absolutely agree, that "a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms" is missing desperately in the #Jabber/#XMPP ecosystem.

There are really good clients for Jabber, but none of them fits above description.

AFAIK, both #Snikket/#Borogove by @snikket_im and #Fluux by @ProcessOne try to close that gap.

Still, I prefer the approach of Delta building on #Rust and #Tauri, instead of #Haxe or #Typescript. #YKINMKBYKIOK.

@wuffel

Hab's mal geteilt, auch wenn meine Bubble eher die von #Jabber/#XMPP ist als die von Signal. Aber machne haben ja beides oder nutzen es via Gateway. Bin gespannt, was ob Du was rausfindest.

@phalanx @davidmaddock @lorenzo

There is a tiny trigger in the original post, that is hard to ignore, though: The words "de-bigtech" and Signal together 😉

Signal is (according to themselves) inextricable from AWS and Google. It depends on #bigTech. That shouldn't be an excuse to derail questions, but it needs self-discipline 🙂

That being said, #Jabber/#XMPP might be a solution for the Signal desktop use case, with a (self-hosted?) #slidge gateway. Probably not easy.

Thanks for mentioning Paligram! Never heard of it. Added it to my IM chart:

And 👍 to #Jabber/#XMPP, the "fediverse of chat" since 1999 🙂

@esmie

I never tried a peer-to-peer messaging app. How well does it work with multiple devices? I.e. I have #Jabber/#XMPP both at home and at my workplace. The devices are never switched on at the same time, until I clone myself 🙂 Still, thanks to the (trustworthy, self-hosted) server, all incoming and outgoing messages are synchronized. I wonder, if/how a peer-to-peer IM can do that.

@adbenitez @mosiwo @CafeJunkie

Schöner Vergleich 🙂

Sowohl bei Delta als auch Matrix als auch #Jabber/#XMPP kann man Servers selbst betreiben, man muß es aber nicht. Bei allen dreien gibt es die Auswahl. Bei Signal gibt's nur AWS von DJT-Buddy Jeff B. 😞

Wer unbedingt gerne die Telefonnummer als ID nutzen will (warum auch immer), kann #Quicksy oder #Prav nutzen, also "Jabber mit Telefonnummer als JID".

If Waydroid only were part of #Debian and #Mobian 😐

https://bugs.debian.org/1001278

Anyway, if I had a Signal account, I probably would use it with my #Jabber client over #slidge. Which needs work in Debian, too 😞

I’m delighted to announce that the OpenPGP implementation in #Conversations_im will see some love over the next ~6 months. Simultaneously, we will be laying the groundwork for OMEMO2 by implementing Stanza Content Encryption.

Thanks to funding from @nlnet and the European Commission.

#XMPP #Jabber #OMEMO #OpenPGP

Now #jabberEl 0.10.3 (the one with #OMEMO etc.) is in #Debian #experimental. If everything goes well, an upload to #unstable will follow soon.

#Jabber.el is living #XMPP and #freeSoftware #history, just like #Gajim by @gajim. Both started around the same time. The initial commit of Gajim was 2003-10-22, while jabber.els was 2003-12-15.

#Emacs, of course, goes back to the early 1980s.

When updating the #poezio package for #Debian I was surprised to find a .github directory in your source tree. Then I learnt:

Just fresh out of the oven, release 0.16.1 of the poezio TUI XMPP client!

Mostly fixes and internal stuff, but also adds the ability to see redacted/moderated messages if you wish so – particularly useful if you are the one moderating –.

Ok, cool kids of XMPP! How do I find (new) chatgroups in XMPP/Jabber?

I made me a new XMPP acc yesterday and now it's kinda silent there. I'd like to change that. But I'm having problems finding (active) rooms. Back in the days there was a muc search on the web but I can't remember the address. :(

ATM, #Snikket iOS is a branded #SiskinIM, right?
So @snikket_im are going to write their own iOS #Jabber client? Huge task!

cc @tigase @Monal

Anyone out there that can recommend a good #XMPP / #Jabber client for #iOS that supports multiple accounts and is not Monal?

We are at Chemnitzer Linux Tage with a stand for #XMPP and #UnifiedPush.
Come find us and talk to us or grab some stickers or Haribo.

Because free software is also about accessibility, I'm doing some important work in Movim to ensure that the user interface can be navigated using the keyboard only. ♥️

This work also involves proper labeling and description of the page elements for people with visual impairments. 💬

This side project is supported by @nlnet. Thanks to them for making Movim an even better communication platform for everyone. ✨

Something @larma and I have been working on during the #IETF125 Hackathon in Shenzhen:

Dino (@dino) and #Conversations_im can now give you a little warning if it's currently the middle of the night for the contact you are chatting with.

#XMPP #Jabber

I recently added a display to #Conversations_im showing the number of stanzas (XMPP packets) sent/received in the current session. What are your counts and how long has your session been active? (Account Details -> 'Server info' in the overflow menu.)

Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:
