No idea where the idea comes from, that #Jabber would have less problems with #spam than other federated communication systems 🤷

There are some tools in place, e.g. #RTBL and #messageModeration, which are great. But that's not sufficient.

We need new gate keeping schemes for large group chats. Open group chats are prone to spam, closing them puts too much acceptance work load on #MUC admins. I'm not yet sure, how a "semi-open" solution could look like.

Checkout #Jabber/#XMPP.
Private chats since 1999 🙂

Signal has some drawbacks:

1. Only usable for people with Android/iOS devices, even their "desktop" app needs a mobile.

2. You need to register with your phone number.

3. It all runs on Jeff B. AWS. Not everyones cup of tea.

I don't think, I ever had any services on a cloud. But if it comes to #selfHosting, I'ld start with chat.

Why?

1. Setting up and maintaining @ejabberd or @prosodyim is pretty easy, esp. compared to #email and even to Nextcloud. With @snikket_im it even gets easier.

2. It's useful to most people.

I mainly use @gajim, only once in a while @dino. In my experience, both are laggy on startup, while closing #Gajim even takes longer than #Dino.

It's not a big deal for me, though. How often do I start them? Once a week?

For a faster #Jabber experience, try #Profanity 🙂

@dino is laggy when I wake up my laptop. It's even laggy if I close Dino and reopen it. I'm using the Flatpak on Fedora.

Hallo Mailbox.org-Team,
habt ihr an eurem xmpp-server herum geschraubt? In den Gruppenchats auf eurem Server kann ich seit kurzem keine Änderung des letzten Posts mehr vornehmen. Bei Gruppenchats auf anderen Servern geht es noch, daher vermutlich eine Server-Frage? (Nutze Conversations aus dem F-Droid)

Sehr dringlich wäre auch mal ein Update eures Servers! Nach meinen Informationen läuft euer Server seit 2018 ohne Updates auf aktuelle Versionen????

#mailbox_org #xmpp #conversationsApp #jabber

@kolev

More ideas:

1. Use the #RFC7259 "Jabber-ID" header in your email.

2. Link your #Jabber contact in your #fediverse profile! (You already do that, but others might not.)

3. Put your #JID in your #vcard:

IMPP;PREF=1;TYPE=home:xmpp:me@domain.org

4. Have Jabber stickers on your laptop, your bicycle, your front door… 🙂

5. Wear an #XMPP hoodie as often as weather and social norms allow.

What's the best way to promote the standard chat protocol XMPP?

My current strategy is to never give out my phone number and only give out an email address. If emails become more frequent, I send them a #Snikket invite.

Additionally, I advertise my JID in place of phone numbers.

The JoinJabber Mediation Circle has gotten reports about unsafe communities in some of the apps listed on our website, we are going to contact application developers and server operators over the next few weeks to make sure we are on the same page around safety in our communities.

We take all reports we get seriously and they stay completely confidential.
We will release more information after the feedback has been gathered and we have had some internal deliberation over this.

#xmpp #jabber

The #Conversations_im release that was rejected yesterday is now live on the Google Play beta channel.

A late addition to the 2.19.0-beta release is message moderation for public channels, giving moderators the ability to delete spam messages.

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!

Chatten geht auch ohne Werbung und auch ohne marktübliches Smartphone 😉 Ein Beispiel ist #XMPP / #Jabber - ein Internetstandard für Instant Messaging.

@hexaheximal @QuadRadical

#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?

There will be a #Jabber/#XMPP #BoF session at #DebConf25 in #Brest. Stay tuned for the #schedule.

@daniel

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.

#xmpp #lgbt #diversity #jabber #lgbtqia

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.

#xmpp #jabber #pride #pride2025

1/2

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.
