I've been playing around with #XMPP, so I set up a group chat where XMPP and fediverse nerds can live chat the #Superbowl on Sunday.

If you've been thinking about trying XMPP this might be your excuse. If you couldn't care less about the Superbowl, I get that too. (I may have a conflict, myself.)

Let me know if anything isn't working correctly. (And, boosts appreciated to help spread the word.)

The room is at: superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com

And if you're already set up with XMPP this may work (hand-written; no promises): xmpp://superb-owl@conference.chat.twomile.com?join

@marxistvegan

I hope, that free and federated #instantMessaging will dominate at some point, no matter which one.

My personal favourite is #Jabber/#XMPP, because

1. I consider it more versatile (even universal) than other approaches. E.g. my company does IoT based on it. There are also social apps like #Movim and #Libervia or professional team chat like #Prose.

2. It is used in huge (unfortunately proprietary) setups already, e.g. Google FCM, Zoom, Fornite, Grindr…

#digitalSovereignty

Was thinking about the French news that they will move away from Zoom and even Signal. At first I understood the Zoom issue and was a little perplexed by the Signal one, however I can understand it in that there is no way for France to host their version. Which brings me back to a question, will XMPP make a reemergence or will something like Delta take its place? (discuss)

Añadí mi #XMPP al perfil. Por si gustan pasar a insultarme, halagarme, regalarme pasteles, etc.

@aandre

Depends on use case. We use #Jabber/#XMPP in our company for ≈ 40 users.
With #Prosody by @prosodyim as server and both #Dino by @dino and #Gajim by @gajim as clients.
Very interesting team communication client, but not yet ready for prime time: #Prose by @prose.

Worst problem: No good client for Windows!
Dino has A/V calls, but the Windows fork is abandoned and does not have message reactions. Gajim and Prose don't have A/V calls yet. Maybe #Movim by @movim is the best option?

De WhatsApp a Delta Chat

@hipcrime @delta

As I don't know Signal: Is this sth. similar to "#XEP-0466: #EphemeralMessages" in #XMPP?

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0466.html

Which, TTBOMK, is not implemented in any client, unfortunately, not even in #Poezio.

@delta I got the gist of Delta Chat, and want to look further into it when time allows. I once set up an in-house #XMPP server (Prosody) for family use, and it worked pretty well. Especially for voice calling.

We fell back to Signal though, because some family don't really have secure endpoint devices, and Signal is good at time-limiting messages in chats.

Abbiamo notato che su Monocles un utente può aggiungere molteplici differenti reactions ad un messaggio. Sarà un bug o una feature?

@fasnix Bei #XMPP ist sowas spezifiziert: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0227.html

La situacion en #cyberdelia.com.ar es la siguiente, cortaron la luz, parece que el corte es grande porque Edesur puso un generador para suplir la falta de servicio que desde hace 12 horas nos dejo sin luz. El tema es que eso afecto a los nodos del ISP y todavia no hay servicio de internerd en la zona.

Esperemos que cuando vuelva internerd el ISP recuerde que tenemos IP publica... hasta entonces sera todo incertidumbre.

Si no vuelve solo, tendre que gestionar una visita tevcnica del ISP... asi que en el peor de los casos nos vemos la semana que viene.

I understand that the endless social media debates about which messaging client is best are obnoxious. That’s why we need to finally adopt a common standard so everyone can choose between Cheogram, Conversations, and Yaxim, or Dino and Gajim, without having to convince everyone else to use the same one.

#Jabber #XMPP #IETF #RFC

@dnkrupinski

Whatever is free and federated and floats your boat. If it's Delta for you, #Jabber/#XMPP for me, and Matrix for others, I'm happy!

@radasbona @delta

I'm not sure about official, but there are various bridging solution between those three plus IRC, plus ActivityPub, and probably others.

The bridges are far from perfect, though. E.g. I use #slidge as bridge from my #Jabber/#XMPP server to Matrix, but it's "puppeteering", i.e. I still need an account on Matrix for that. Also, I can't do A/V calls from one protocol to the other. Messaging, message reactions, message replies, sharing images do work, however.

Not that bad! 🙂

@zeank @nicebread

Wenn jemand #Prosody als #XMPP Server auf einem #Debian System einrichten will, kann man sich ja mal die Seite im Wiki ansehen https://wiki.debian.org/Prosody/HowTo

Ich habe versucht einen kleinen Überblick zu geben, was man alles so beachten sollte und dann den Link zu offiziellen Dokumentation hinterlegt.

Ich habe privat schon einige Jahre ein Prosody auf Debian laufen und bin damit sehr zufrieden. Chat, Datei, Audio- Videocalls funktionieren (abhängig vom Client) super.

#didit

XMPP in general and #Conversations_im in particular are used a lot by organizations and individuals that have something to hide. They have absolutely zero interest in appearing on marketing slides or blog posts. But buy #XMPP developers enough Belgian beer at FOSDEM and you'll hear the stories.

@daniel danke für deine Arbeit und deinen Einsatz. Ich nutze #Conversations auch schon ewig (neben #gajim auf dem Rechner). #xmpp Messenger Clients wie diese sind in der gesamten Familie und im Freundeskreis im Einsatz. Auch danke für das Wechselrezept. Gerade was die Unterstützung für iOS angeht kannte ich #monal noch gar nicht.
Und für Leute die xmpp lieber ganz einfach per Telefonnr. nutzen wollen ist auch #quicksy eine super Lösung. Ich glaube einfach vielen ist auch gar nicht klar das quicksy und conversations eben EU Lösungen bzw. sogar deutsche Lösungen sind.

Was #signal angeht muss ich eben auch sagen, das mich der fehlende föderale Ansatz stört. Und genau da habert es eben m.E. auch an der Sicherheit, die dort immer hochgehalten wird. Informationssicherheit muss eben auch die Verfügbarkeit abdecken, die man bei einem zentralen Dienst durchaus kritisieren darf und auch muss. Auch ist man so der Produktpolitik des zentralen Anbieters ausgeliefert. Aktuell handelt Signal im Sinne von Vielen und stellt eben die bessere Alternative zu WA dar. Aber bleibt das auch so für alle Zukunft? Wenn nicht sitzt man halt im nächsten goldenen Käfig.

#fosdem was cool! I attended a single day, spend it all chatting with cool folks who wanted to know more about #XMPP and its gateways such as https://slidge.im
As the "bridges guy", it was my duty to socialize with our neighbours @matrix and @delta - we have different opinions on which tech is better, but our goals are aligned: long live federated self-hostable chat protocols! No need to FUD each other.

I'm in Belgium for #FOSDEM and the #XMPP Summit, and ever since I crossed the border on Wednesday, my roaming has been extremely spotty or non-existent. It's amazing how much XMPP instant messaging traffic I can still get through a very slow EDGE connection, whereas the Mastodon API with Tusky doesn't work at all.

@arcanechat

Thanks! I'm aware of Matterbridge, but did not know (or forgot), that Delta is supported. Cool!

As soon as I have contacts on Delta, I will remember Matterbridge!

Btw. there is a #XEP (#XMPP extension) for federated group chats:

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0289.html

But TTBOMK, it never took off. Maybe it was never deemed necessary?

Btw. #Jabber onboarding got simpler thanks to https://blog.prosody.im/great-invitations/ implemented in #prosody and #ejabberd.

Anyway, making Delta more powerful is a good thing!

@debacle

> Still, I would not switch, because other features, which I use everyday in #Jabber/#XMPP are still missing, e.g. gateways to IRC, Matrix, and SMS.

actually this is not true, there are bridges to #Matrix, #IRC, #XMPP, #WhatsApp and many other platforms via #Matterbridge

but your point still stands valid, if you are a happy xmpp user why to switch? for me it is a no-go for the mentioned problems of xmpp group centralization etc. and difficulty of onboarding
