We are seeing bots attacking our Prav SMS verification API end point - they request OTP, but don't complete registration.

So we are forced to stop registrations until we figure out a solution. We have some suggestions already, if you have more ideas or like already proposed suggestions, then please comment here

speaking of askfedi, I need recommendations for FOSS XMPP mobile apps for Android. I've been wanting to try it out but am unsure what apps have the best security and privacy controls after all this time. I know XMPP as a protocol has been hacked and screwed with a lot over time

Got three(!) PRs merged today! 🥳

Next version of ejabberd will feature:

* new command `generate_reset_token` in case someone forgot their password
* web-admin interface for invite tokens, lists all existing invites, lets them browse, sort and filter, execute commands
* if landing page configured there’s now a start page that lets any user create invites using their account name and password (if allowed)

@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)…

#AGM #AGMmobile #M11 #lazyverse #question

At this point, the Google Play app review process has become a security liability. I have had an app update for #Conversations_im in the review queue since April 28th. Previously, app updates have been rejected for stupid, hallucinated reasons; this time, we are just being ignored entirely. The release is not shipping any security fixes, but imagine if it did.

#XMPP

@celesteh @Steldamm @kkarhan I run my own #XMPP server and still had to migrate my family to #Signal for for daily use because the app ecosystem is only so-so for it, especially on iPhone/Apple products. Never could get my family to receive push-like notifications when they got new messages, no matter what I tried.

Nothing's perfect, but some things are more perfect than others. :)

@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 🤷

@debacle @dnkrupinski

Okay, that was surprising, I need to learn more.

I prefer to use Conversations #XMPP for A/V as of now, seems to work.

@artway

Then it's not likely, no. You did not ask in the #Monal channel, right? 🤷

Don't forget, that Whatsapp is based on #XMPP, too. Also Zoom, FCM, Grindr, and the chat function in Fortnite and other online games. You might still be using XMPP 🙂

@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?

There now is even a debian backport version for emacs-jabber (aka jabber.el) - including omemo support:

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.

Elsbeth Sigmund as "Heidi" (CH 1952)

@celesteh @Steldamm Well, I use #XMPP+#OMEMO.exlcusively and the #Metadata-#FUD by #Signal fans is.moot given they demand #PII in the form of a #PhoneNumber and are subject to #CloudAct.

- There are simple & privacy-preserving options, like @monocles, which one can even pay for with #CashByMail and #Monero!

https://docs.monocles.eu/account/account/

@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!

https://joinjabber.org/ by @joinjabber has more info.

Alternativen zu Whatsapp? Da kommen oft Dienst wie Signal oder Threema auf. Dies sind gute Lösungen, verwenden aber ein zentrales System: Alles liegt beim Anbieter. Wir setzen stattdessen auf eine dezentrale Lösung: XMPP ist ein offener Internetstandard für Instant Messaging. Ausprobieren könnt ihr dies mit Anoxinon Messenger oder einem Anbieter eurer Wahl.
Mehr Infos findet ihr bei https://anoxinon.de/dienste/anoxinonmessenger/ @xmpp. #XMPP #DIDit

Just (re)discovered #Quicksy. My Jabber ID is now listed. Thanks to @daniel #XMPP work!

Annndddd it's merged (in master).

+516 lines added and -2249 lines removed. Because sometimes you can make more with less 😽.

So for now you'll be able to join and leave audio and video calls in one click. You can also see who is calling in real-time in all the Groups you joined. 👀

The microphone level has been redesigned and the UI is now refreshing smoothly. 🎙️

Everything is working in full P2P and is based on the XMPP standard. No platform specific protocol.

You want to interoperate with Movim? Implement XEP-0272: Multiparty Jingle. Et voilà! ✨

Discord, brace yourself, FOSS, standard and federated alternatives are coming!

WOOHOO #DISCORD IS DOWN

LONG LIVE #FLUXER AND #MATRIX AND #SPACEBAR AND #STOAT AND #XMPP

Ich habe die Empfehlungsecke »Messenger« überarbeitet und klar nach Zielgruppen getrennt:

Einsteiger / WhatsApp-Wechselwillige:
Signal bleibt meist der realistischste erste Schritt, weil Bedienung, Reichweite und Alltagstauglichkeit passen.

Datenschutzbewusste Kleingruppen:
Threema ist stark bei Datenschutz und googlefreier Nutzung, wegen geringer Verbreitung aber nur eingeschränkt als Wechsel-Empfehlung geeignet.

Fortgeschrittene / Selbsthoster:
XMPP und Matrix für mehr Autonomie und föderierte Infrastruktur.

Profis / Aktivisten / Journalisten:
Briar für Risikolagen, in denen Sicherheit, Anonymität und Zensurresistenz wichtiger sind als Komfort.

Something big is coming for audio and video calls in Movim 😯

You will soon be able to see in real time when your contacts are calling each-others in a group call and join whenever you want... leave, and join again.

Once everything is stabilized the feature will be added to Spaces.

We are this close to have audio (and video) rooms in Spaces 🤏

So, say goodbye to Discord, you'll soon have a fully web-based, Open Source, decentralized and standard calling platform to replace it. ✨

I have finally started actually building my first node in what I hope to eventually become a local inter-neighborhood #MeshNetwork of nodes.

The premise is to have an open wifi access point #OffGrid both powered by solar and not connected to the internet, with a few simple things that might be useful to neighbors...

Not sure exactly what all it might have, but I envision at least a #Wiki ...

#EMail ? Mailing lists?
#XMPP ?
#SyncThing ?
#NNCP ?
#RSS feeds?
#Kiwix ?

The past few months have been wild for Movim!

We hit our first fundraising goal of €1,700 (covering the basic costs) 🎉, shipped Movim 0.33 "Halley", and held an XMPP hackathon in the French Alps 🇫🇷 ⛰️.

Up next: Spaces upgrades, audio rooms 🎙️, better video calls & SFU support.

We published a detailed version on the Movim Blog there https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/first-2026-goal-reached-what-s-next-7cgeGX

Don't forget to share the good news and support us if you like the project. We still have a long way to go!

#Freemailer haben z.T. strenge Limits was Die Anzahl an Nachrichten angeht.
- Bei Organisationen ist das weniger ein Problem.

Ich selbst nutz' #XMPP+#OMEMO weils das besser macht und weil ich seit >15 Jahren dies nutz…

@Lilith Bin ja immernoch der Ansicht dass @delta / #deltaChat sich für Organisationen anbietet, weil #PGP/MIME funktioniert und #eMail-Infrastruktur eh vorhanden ist.

- Nächstbeste ist #XMPP+#OMEMO weil ich kann #TechIlliterates binnen Minuten onboarden…
