3. #Jabber braucht keine Telefonnummer. Gerade, wenn man mehrere Accounts haben will, wäre es sehr blöd, für jeden erstmal ein SIM kaufen und dann auch langfristig bezahlen zu müssen. Bei Jabber kann man aber mmit #Quicksy optional ein Account "per Telefonnummer" haben, wenn man das möchte:

https://quicksy.im/

Signal hat vor allem Vorteile, wenn man für sie arbeitet. Die Gehälter sind echt nicht schlecht. Bis zu 800 kUSD/a!

@alpha

Ich nutze bzgl. IM nur #Jabber/#XMPP, seit ≈ 2014. Finde ich besser als SIgnal, weil:

1. Kann mir den Server (-Standort) aussuchen, auch den Domainname. Ich habe z.B. ein "debian.org" account, einen anderen mit dem Namen meiner Firma, wobei der Server auch in der Firma läuft. Also #digitaleSouveränität.

2. Ich habe kein Android oder iOS. Signal läuft als Desktop-App auch nur, wenn man zusätzlich ein Smartphone nutzt. WTF? Jabber hat gute Desktop-Clients wie #Dino und #Gajim.

@sophiekaz

The best is #Jabber/#XMPP, of course. 😉
Federated messaging since 1999!
No centralized #bigTech servers like WA or Signal.

Very easy onboarding with #Quicksy by @daniel (Android client) and @Monal (iOS client).

There are many other federated messengers, of course, which are also nice.

@gnemmi

Congratulations, @profanity!

It's one of the few client (or the only one?) to speak #OTR, #OMEMO, and #OX!

Now, #Profanity, please give us message reactions!

Sure, that's an UI implementation nightmare on the console, but maybe there is prior art in e.g. #Poezio (#Jabber) or gomuks (Matrix)?

This release brings fixes for OTR detection, OMEMO startup, overwriting new accounts when running multiple instances, reconnect when no account has been set up yet, adds a new /changes command that allows the user to see the modifications of the runtime configuration vs. the saved configuration among many other fixes and improvements. Make sure to have fun!

Les recordamos que nuestros servidores, además de proveer esta distinguida instancia , también aloja un servidor XMPP que es incluso, anterior a la instancia de Mastodon . Es de los primeros servicios que tuvimos en Undernet junto con el correo electrónico . XMPP es un sistema de mensajería federado y descentralizado , como Mastodon, donde cada servidor tiene cuentas, y puede agregar cuentas de otros servidores y asi chatear. Existen salas públicas y privadas a las que uno puede unirse o crearlas si no existen. Nuestro admin @gabriel ha hecho una recopilación de muchas de estas salas en su blog --> https://publicar.uy/salas-de-mensajeria-xmpp-en-espanol/ XMPP es un protocolo que existe desde fines de los 90s y se le han ido agregando cosas, porque es un protocolo modular. Hoy en día se pueden hacer hasta llamadas de audio y video , compartir imágenes , ubicación ... etc. Nuestro servidor al igual que Mastodon Uruguay, y todos los servicios de Undernet, están integramente alojados en Uruguay en forma autogestionada e independiente 🇺🇾 y tiene en total unas 300 cuentas registradas en los dos dominios que administramos que son @undernet.uy y @buzon.uy de las cuales se conectan diariamente unas 70+ . El servidor esta conectado con otros 600 servidores XMPP. Si no lo probaste, podes bajarte un cliente como Conversations, Monocles, Xabber para android, Snikket para iPhone o Gajim y Dino para Lunux e incluso clientes para terminal y registrar una cuenta en nuestro servidor u otros.

Spaces are coming now to #Jabber/#XMPP, which seems to be a fundamental feature of Discord. The leading client for that feature is #Movim by @movim

https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/help-movim-reach-its-goals-for-2026-LQext9

And a Matrix bridge powered by #slidge is already included. Cool!

@j_r @menel @mosiwo

Noch 'ne Bemerkung zu Pidgin: Da wird gerade heftig dran gearbeitet und man kann gespannt sein, was die künftige Version 3 bringen wird.

Die derzeitige Version 2 ist aber leider "aus der Zeit gefallen". Fast keine der netten, neuen #Jabber-Features der letzten 10..15 Jahre wird unterstützt.

Bis dahin empfehle ich aushilfsweise #Gajim von @gajim oder #Dino von @dino.

@ploum

Above "#Premium", there is "#FirstClass", which adds #federation and optional #selfHosting to the mix. It exists since 1999 and is called #Jabber.

@LivInTheLookingGlass

I use #biboumi for #IRC, #slidge for Matrix, #sms4you for #SMS, and played with #libervia for ActivityPub.

You can try the first two on #Movim https://mov.im/

@eliocamp

I never used Matrix on a mobile device. Maybe for that use case #Jabber/#XMPP is a better option?

I mainly use the latter, but also Matrix via #slidge as gateway. My account is on matrix.org.

If Matrix isn't your cup of tea ^W^W^W mate of yerba, the best Jabber client for Discord migration seems to be #Movim by @movim atm.:

@botler @nik @r

Ärgern darfst Du Dich natürlich und es wäre schön, wenn das Löschen ein bisschen häufiger klappte als derzeit.

Vielleicht hat der semifederierte (oder semizentralisierte?) Ansatz von #XMPP da sogar (relative!) Vorteile?

Gruppenchats (#MUC) sind jeweils nur auf einem Server. Nachrichten, die aus dem Message Archive gelöscht sind, sind dort weg. Was natürlich nicht verhindert, daß sie in den Client-Caches liegen oder jemand ein Web-View eines Chats ins Netz…

#Jabber

#Quicksy is getting an unusually high amount of registrations from Russia and the US. I wonder if these two countries have something in common.

#XMPP #Jabber

Okay, I have an #XMPP/#Jabber question that I can't find a great answer to.

On fedi, I can have an alias @liv@oliviaappleton.com that points to my profile. Is there a similar thing I can do for XMPP? I would ideally like to redirect to an arbitrary domain, so like liv@oliviaappleton.com would point to username@example.com

Does anyone know of an XMPP echo bot address I can have a conversation with, to test my newly installed #prosody instance?

I want to break a local community free from Signal, and I've been thinking about XMPP. In reading some analyses I found this gem:

https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/matrix-vs-xmpp/

I stopped using Signal because I just don't trust it. Why so many updates with no explanations? Is it so unstable and insecure that it needs them? Also, check out search results for running your own Signal server. Technically it's free software, but practically, good luck.

So I guess I need to figure out persistence and E2EE for XMPP, and land on a server and clients. I'm inclined towards ejabberd, because Erlang!

I'd welcome thoughts.

#xmpp #jabber #signal #matrix

@Tamtam

While #Jabber/#XMPP has not the same #confidentiality as Signal (e.g. more meta data is stored on the server; and current #OMEMO 1 is not as good as, OMEMO 2, which unfortunately is not widely implemented), but it's close enough for me.

The advantages of #federation and #digitalSovereignty outweight those minor problems. YMMV.

@danish_akhtar7

I never tried Signal or Whatsapp, but I'm on free and federated #Jabber/#XMPP since 2014. I came late to the party — Jabber exists since 1999. At some point, Google chat federated with Jabber, but they stopped it, because #BigTech does bigtech things.

Bridges from Jabber to Whatsapp and Signal do exist, i.e. #slidge, but because WA and Signal are anti-federation, the bridge can only work, if one has an account on WA/Signal 😞

Anyway, all friends and family are on Jabber now.

There are IM apps mostly pushed by a few loud enthusiasts on Mastodon, and then there is #XMPP, which is used in the real world.

For example:

• Evacuating people from battlefields in Afghanistan: That’s XMPP.
• Shipping metric fuck tons of cocaine across the globe: That’s XMPP.

#ThatsXMPP #Jabber

Unfortunately spam and abuse - like anywhere on the Internet - can be a problem in public channels on the Jabber/XMPP network.
That's why the next version of #Conversations_im is combining ban and message deletion (moderation) into one step.

Let's hope you won't need that functionality very often.

#XMPP #Jabber

I understand that the endless social media debates about which messaging client is best are obnoxious. That’s why we need to finally adopt a common standard so everyone can choose between Cheogram, Conversations, and Yaxim, or Dino and Gajim, without having to convince everyone else to use the same one.
