I have released version 1.15 of slixmpp, the python XMPP library.

Besides the continuation of @nicoco ’s quest to add every XEP under the sun, the most notable change is that building the rust module is now optional (i.e. in the absence of sufficient tools, slixmpp will happily be installed using the pure-python fallback for the JID module, which is kind of important for Mac OS or Winslop platforms).

Ich sehe das Problem von Signal auch eher darin, daß DJT über seinen Kumpel Jeff B. einen #killSwitch für den Service in der Hand hält. Wenn DJT mal schlecht schläft, kann er von einem auf den anderen Tag die ganze #EU von Signal aussperren.

Und es gefällt mir "aus allgemeinen Gründen" nicht, Dienste von Jeff B. zu nutzen.

Darum nutze ich seit 2014 ausschließlich #Jabber/#XMPP für Chat. Plus IRC, Matrix und SMS über Gateways.

@Ben_Jones @BremerHonig

#Jabber/#XMPP finde ich noch besser, denn es ist #frei und #föderiert, wie das #Fediverse 🙂

Ein #WalledGarden wird ja nicht so viel besser, nur weil er in #Europa angesiedelt ist.

Estoy leyendo por aquí quejas de que OMEMO no funciona en Kaidan.

Me pregunto hasta qué punto es problema de Kaidan, que usa la versión 0.8.3 del XEP (OMEMO2) y no de que la gran mayoría de clientes se hayan quedado en la versión 0.3.0 (asumo que para mantener compatibilidad con Conversations).

@kevino1 @fruitchypear Actually it's not a problem at all to have OLDMEMO and TWOMEMO at the same time, that's what namespaces are for. Libervia on which I'm working does support both.

The main issue is that resources are spares, dev teams are small, and there are question of priorities. E2e encryption is time consuming to implement well.

#Jabber/#XMPP, which I use since ≈ 2014. Never tried any of the walled gardens like Whatsapp, Signal, or Threema.

@santi

Great news! Hope to see @pulkomandy at the #XMPP sprint #Berlin in June!

"Modern STARTTLS", well 😉

Nothing wrong with it, but the #Jabber history goes more or less like this, AFAIK:

1. use 5222 without any encryption
2. add 5223 with mandatory direct SSL
3. use 5222 with optional STARTTLS
4. use 5222 with mandatory STARTTLS and call 5223 legacy
5. use 443 with mandatory direct TLS and ALPN, keep 5222 with mandatory STARTTLS as fallback for older clients

PCMIIW!

Since yesterday #cyberdelia is down because of our ISP, we have setup an LTE failover but looks like we are not federating (some network configuration glitch maybe) so ... we are delivering minimal comms for our users ... if u try to join one of our #XMPP MUCs and see we don't reply or you can't join our MUCs ... that's why ... the technicians came yesterday changed the modem but they didn't activate it (face palm)

I see #Movim decided to target itself as a (distributed) #Discord-killer.

And looking at the latest update, I’m cautiously optimistic. They worked on accessibility, hats (i.e. roles), spaces, better audio/video chat and game streaming …

Voy a empezar a insistirle más a mis contactos cercanos que empiecen a usar XMPP, las plataformas privativas y centralizadas están cada vez peor en cuanto a privacidad y modelos de negocio. Así que escribí este artículo al que de ser necesario voy a referenciarlos, espero que se entienda bien.

Bitte denkt auch an die Sicherheit Eures #Jabber/#XMPP-Servers! Das ist meines Wissens ein etwas in die Jahre gekommener #ejabberd mit bekannten Schwächen.

Movim 0.33 "Halley" is Out! ✨

After months of work and hundreds of commits, this is the biggest Movim release ever made!

This release massively scales up Movim's architecture while introducing exciting features such as Spaces, Hats or improved screen-sharing during video-conferences.

Thanks to @nlnet funding a lot of work was also done to improve accessibility. There is still a lot to do but the bases are there 🫶

You can read the detailed release-note on our blog! https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/a1f5a954-e80c-45bd-911b-62e1bf98f8da

If you want to support Movim and help cover our expenses and allow us spend even more time on it, there is funding campaign for 2026 https://movim.eu/#fund 🫶

New progress note available (after 3 years during which I posted here on ActivityPub instead of on the blog):

https://www.goffi.org/id/libervia-progress-note-2026-w16-ooph

I'm talking about current work on installation/configuration simplification and the new forge, focus on web frontend and redesign and work done with current metadata reduction and serverless XMPP (Tor, contacts e2ee, new pubsub implementation).

Screenshot of the new forge feature in Libervia Web frontend. It shows the forges opened on 'libervia-backend" repository, with 3 panels: - a left one with repositories available (libervia-backend, libervia-web, libervia-templates, libervia-media, sat_tmp, urwid-satext, tx-xmpp). "libervia-backend" is selected - in the center, a classic code view with 2 tabs "code" and "tickets". "code" is selected with a listing of the files of the repository, and the last commit with its title and relative date - on the right panel, there are the instruction to clone the repository (`git clone https://www.goffi.org/forge/goffi/libervia-backend`)

Monal 6.4.20 (Build 1090, PR #1621) released.

I’m happy to announce the release 0.17 of the poezio terminal #XMPP client!

This features adds support for XEP-0444: Message reactions.

You can read more about it on my blog: https://blog.mathieui.net/poezio-0-17.html

Fun fact: poezio was one of the very first clients with support for message reactions, during the XMPP sprint where they were initially fleshed out, but the PoC branch got lost in a forge move 🤐

And another one waiting to be merged: adds a web-admin panel for mod_invites (Great Invitations) that lets you manage all issued invites, hopefully in an elegant and effective way.

Adding a start page to mod_invites where you can generate „Account Creation“ invites in case your client doesn’t support that: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/pull/4567

The #XMPP community operates on the principle that good ideas will prevail. Showing a warning when it’s nighttime for a contact has had three independent implementations in a little over a month.
