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 …

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 🫶

I just went out for a walk and I thought: Maybe it is a good idea to publish an English version of my #Conversations_im video.

Non-German speakers: I am not a native speaker, so please give me some feedback if English #XMPP videos (by a non-native speaker) are helpful or not.

On that note… #Prav is offering 20,000 INR (212 USD, or 181 EUR) to anyone who can implement a particular feature for them.

The Org
Prāv is a fork of Quicksy.im run by #FreeSoftware activists, which provides an #XMPP service and branded apps to make it easy to bring non-geeks to XMPP.

Prāv is a #cooperative, which means anyone can become a member and take part in the project governance and decision-making. It’s the ultimate form of putting users and workers in control!

If you want to defeat #capitalism , it’s important to support cooperatives like Prāv instead of privately-owned hierarchical companies and organizations.

The Task
Prāv uses phone numbers for easy registration and contact discovery. As with Quicksy, the phone number becomes part of the user’s XMPP address. This means the user’s phone number is visible to channel admins and to anyone the user adds as a contact.

The task is to modify the clients to let users enter a username which will be used for their XMPP address instead. This way, phone numbers will continue to be used for easy registration and contact discovery, without revealing the phone number to other users.

No other XMPP client or service has this functionality yet! 🙂 Go check out their Codeberg repository. https://codeberg.org/prav

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`)

¿Por qué prefiero XMPP sobre el control de WhatsApp desde hace años?

Llevo muchos años utilizando XMPP como mi vía de comunicación principal y la razón es más sencilla de lo que parece: no me gusta que una sola empresa sea dueña de mis charlas. WhatsApp funciona como una isla cerrada donde, para entrar, debes aceptar todas sus condiciones y permitir que una corporación gigante analice con quién hablas y a qué hora lo haces. En cambio, XMPP funciona exactamente igual que el correo electrónico; no importa qué proveedor elijas, siempre puedes hablar con cualquier otra persona que use el mismo sistema sin estar atrapado en una sola aplicación.

A diferencia de las aplicaciones comerciales, el uso de este protocolo me devuelve el control total sobre mi información. Si no me gusta cómo funciona un servidor, simplemente muevo mi cuenta a otro o incluso puedo montar el mío propio en casa. Esto es lo que llamamos soberanía digital: el derecho a decidir quién maneja nuestros datos en lugar de ser un producto más dentro de un catálogo publicitario. No necesito dar mi número de teléfono a desconocidos ni permitir que analicen mis contactos para poder enviar un mensaje, lo que me brinda una capa de privacidad que hoy en día es casi imposible de encontrar en las redes sociales privativas.

A veces la gente piensa que usar estas herramientas es complicado, pero la realidad es que hoy existen aplicaciones para el celular muy fáciles de usar que se ven y funcionan igual que cualquier otro chat. La diferencia real está en el fondo, donde nadie me impone términos de uso abusivos ni decide por mí qué puedo o no compartir. Elegir XMPP ha sido mi forma de decir que mi privacidad tiene valor y que prefiero la libertad de una red abierta antes que la comodidad vigilada de una plataforma cerrada. Es, en última instancia, una cuestión de respeto hacia mi propio espacio digital.

¿Sabían que el protocolo XMPP, nacido originalmente bajo el nombre de Jabber en 1998, fue diseñado para romper el aislamiento entre los sistemas de mensajería cerrados de finales del siglo XX?

Jeremie Miller creó esta tecnología basada en XML para permitir que diferentes servidores se comunicaran entre sí de forma abierta, similar al funcionamiento del correo electrónico. Antes de su estandarización, servicios como ICQ, MSN Messenger y AIM funcionaban como islas donde los usuarios no podían enviarse recados si no pertenecían a la misma empresa. XMPP introdujo el concepto de pasarelas, que permitía a un solo cliente conectarse a múltiples redes externas mediante una estructura de red descentralizada donde nadie posee el control total del flujo de la información.

En el año 2004, el Grupo de Trabajo de Ingeniería de Internet (IETF) formalizó este conjunto de reglas como un estándar abierto, lo que permitió su adopción en infraestructuras críticas. Debido a su flexibilidad para gestionar la presencia en línea y el intercambio de datos en tiempo real, empresas como Google y Facebook utilizaron XMPP en sus inicios para cimentar sus plataformas de chat antes de decidir cerrar sus ecosistemas a protocolos propietarios. En la actualidad, este sistema sigue siendo la base de redes de comunicación seguras y aplicaciones que priorizan la autonomía del usuario frente a las grandes corporaciones digitales.
