@gtronix

Bad for all communication services, that require a phone number, such as Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram.

No problem for #Jabber/#XMPP, Matrix, Delta and friends.

Anyone here with RL experience with #AGMM11 #dumbPhone or #featurePhone? Or, as they market it "rugged #powerBank with #phone capabilities":

https://www.agmmobile.com/products/agm-m11-rugged-power-bank-phone/

Important to me: Phone calls, #SMS, #mobileRouter or #travelRouter.

Is it OK for the (IMHO low) price?

I'm not interested in their #cloudApp stuff and would try to remove or disable that. I would make an exception for #ConverseJS or #Convo (i.e. #Jabber/#XMPP)…

@artway @martin

Some friends use #Monal and they send me photos and voice messages (unfortunately). Things do work for them. I can't ask, what they do differently, because they are completely non-technical users. They don't even know, what #Jabber or #XMPP were. I.e. you encountered a problem, that is not that common. And instead of asking in the Monal groupchat or @Monal you prefer public ranting 🤷

@torf @dnkrupinski

I don't use Delta myself, but TTBOMK, yes, you can do A/V calls with it. Other free and federated options are Matrix, and my personal favourite, #Jabber/#XMPP. They have A/V calls, too.

@artway

I use #Jabber/#XMPP since ≈ 2014. Works for me, for my friends, family, colleagues. Some (few) of them are on iOS and use @Monal successfully. Maybe they're holding it wrong? 😉

But seriously, instead of using an LLM, I'ld ask in the #Monal chat room:

xmpp:monal@chat.yax.im?join

Are you sure, it's not a server issue?

@celesteh @kkarhan @Steldamm@vivaldi.net @monocles

I guess, the correct pronounciation of #XMPP in #IPA is

'ʤæb.əʳ

You like Signal for it's outstanding #confidentiality? Fine!

You like Threema, since it's safe, it's from #Switzerland, and #ElsbethSigmund as #Heidi was your #childhoodCrush? Great!

You like Whatsapp, because your friends are there? I don't blame you!

But 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 don't claim, that any of those #centralServices would support #digitalAutonomy, #digitalIndependence, #digitalSovereignty. They have their merits, but they still are #walledGardens.

@EA7KRC

Note, that DeepL will use AWS starting 2026-05-20. Servers in the EU, but still… Maybe #LibreTranslate is better?

Regarding chat, try #Jabber/#XMPP. It's the same technology powering Whatsapp, but free and federated — since 1999!

Multiple security issues were found in Prosody, a lightweight #Jabber/#XMPP server, which could result in denial of service or insufficient access control when using the SOCKS5 proxy module.

@HoSnoopy @kuketzblog @reticuleena

Ja, #slidge ist eines der vielen guten Argumente für #Jabber — ich nutze es um zu Matrix zu bridgen (und co-maintaine das Package bei #Debian 😉)

Aber für Signal oder WA ist's mir zu stressig: U.a. müßte ich mir ein Android-Device besorgen, lernen wie man es bedient, eine Telefonnummer für den Account opfern usw. Ich bin damit einfach überfordert 🤷

@kuketzblog @reticuleena

Mein Problem mit Signal oder Threema ist, daß ich z.B. im Freundeskreis schlecht etwas empfehlen kann, was ich selbst nicht nutze. Die Leute fragen mich dann natürlich, wie sie mich damit erreichen können und meine Antwort ist: Nicht.

Das geht derzeit halt nur mit #Jabber (bzw. via Bridges auch IRC, Matrix und SMS) 🤷

@delta @pixelschubsi @adbenitez

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.

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.

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

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. ✨

In case you're using the official ejabberd packages on Debian stable: They're affected by a recent CA policy change (e.g., Let's Encrypt), causing ejabberd to reject newly issued certificates and thereby breaking federation with some remote servers. Deploy this update to fix the issue:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1128568#23

You may also want to consider enabling mod_s2s_dialback to deal with remote servers that haven't been updated yet.
