Thanks for mentioning Paligram! Never heard of it. Added it to my IM chart:

And 👍 to #Jabber/#XMPP, the "fediverse of chat" since 1999 🙂

I never tried a peer-to-peer messaging app. How well does it work with multiple devices? I.e. I have #Jabber/#XMPP both at home and at my workplace. The devices are never switched on at the same time, until I clone myself 🙂 Still, thanks to the (trustworthy, self-hosted) server, all incoming and outgoing messages are synchronized. I wonder, if/how a peer-to-peer IM can do that.

@adbenitez @mosiwo @CafeJunkie

Schöner Vergleich 🙂

Sowohl bei Delta als auch Matrix als auch #Jabber/#XMPP kann man Servers selbst betreiben, man muß es aber nicht. Bei allen dreien gibt es die Auswahl. Bei Signal gibt's nur AWS von DJT-Buddy Jeff B. 😞

Wer unbedingt gerne die Telefonnummer als ID nutzen will (warum auch immer), kann #Quicksy oder #Prav nutzen, also "Jabber mit Telefonnummer als JID".

@CafeJunkie Das musst du dem HR schreiben und nicht mir. 🧐 Ich habe den Beitag lediglich geteilt. Aber du hast schon Recht. #Startpage ist in der Tat eine gute Alternative. Beim Messager ist es so eine Sache. Je mehr man die Sicherheit hochschraubt umso unbequemer ist es ja auch. Es geht ja darum einen Ersatz für den Otto Normalverbraucher zu haben. Da bietet Signal einen guten Mittelweg. Für #Conversations #XMPP z.B. braucht man wieder einen eigenen Server, da steigen viele ja direkt aus.

I’m delighted to announce that the OpenPGP implementation in #Conversations_im will see some love over the next ~6 months. Simultaneously, we will be laying the groundwork for OMEMO2 by implementing Stanza Content Encryption.

Thanks to funding from @nlnet and the European Commission.

Now #jabberEl 0.10.3 (the one with #OMEMO etc.) is in #Debian #experimental. If everything goes well, an upload to #unstable will follow soon.

#Jabber.el is living #XMPP and #freeSoftware #history, just like #Gajim by @gajim. Both started around the same time. The initial commit of Gajim was 2003-10-22, while jabber.els was 2003-12-15.

#Emacs, of course, goes back to the early 1980s.

When updating the #poezio package for #Debian I was surprised to find a .github directory in your source tree. Then I learnt:

#AI #Jabber #XMPP

Just fresh out of the oven, release 0.16.1 of the poezio TUI XMPP client!

Mostly fixes and internal stuff, but also adds the ability to see redacted/moderated messages if you wish so – particularly useful if you are the one moderating –.

Ok, cool kids of XMPP! How do I find (new) chatgroups in XMPP/Jabber?

I made me a new XMPP acc yesterday and now it's kinda silent there. I'd like to change that. But I'm having problems finding (active) rooms. Back in the days there was a muc search on the web but I can't remember the address. :(

#XMPP #Jabber #MUC

We are exploring support for #MariaDB, #Firebird and #CockroachDB in Openfire. This includes early pull requests and discussion of trade-offs, maintenance cost and real-world demand.

We would love community input before proceeding further.

Is this valuable, or more trouble than it is worth?

#Certificate authorities have decided to stop setting the “TLS client” #EKU on the #TLS server certificates they issue.

This immediately created a problem for server-to-server protocols like #SMTP and #XMPP.

Now it looks like XMPP servers have begun to simply ignore their clients' certificates' EKU. https://monal-im.org/post/00016-upgrade-ejabberd-on-debian/

I thought restricting the EKU like this was a bad idea. Looks like I was right. The #CA decision is backfiring.

RE: https://fosstodon.org/@xmpp/116351867577725652

While I don’t use #XMPP systems any more, I am delighted to see all the activity that is happening within the ecosystem!

I was an early user of jabber.org (in the early 2000’s?) and continued to use it until it just got so overrun by spam that it was useless for me. Simultaneously, other places that had been using XMPP systems were all moving to Slack or similar messengers, particularly as independent clients were struggling.

But I have always like the ideas of XMPP… I wish the community well

Great post by @thanosapollo about #Emacs and #Jabber/#XMPP:

https://thanosapollo.org/posts/emacs-jabber-revival/

"Now, jabber.el is the most XEP-complete text-based client in existence."

#mcabber, #poezio, and #profanity get a tough time, I guess.

"Emacs is not just the editor I write jabber.el in. It is the runtime, the test harness, and the application.

I develop in the same instance where I chat. Fix a bug, eval changes, and the fix is live in my running session. Seconds, not minutes."

Life has meaning, again!

Anyone out there that can recommend a good #XMPP / #Jabber client for #iOS that supports multiple accounts and is not Monal?

Bueno ... tenemos servicio de internerd pero detras de un CGNAT ... imposible hacer que #personal mande un técnico, la zona sigue con problemas, asi que esta esta noche nos saltamos el CGNAT y #cyberdelia vuelve ... estamos tratando de solucionar todo con lo que tenemos a mano, sin un mango porque #argentina y coso, limitando los servicios que damos al máximo, dando solo lo más crítico que es #XMPP ... al menos hasta que nos pasen a fibra, esperemos, veremos que nos depara la suerte.

Actually, even if you don’t care about #UnifiedPush, having this minimal #Prosody server that just accepts messages via a simple REST API and sends them out via #XMPP is great alternative to the various sendxmpp scripts out there.

Our combined booth for #UnifiedPush and #XMPP at #CLT2026 went great. There was huge interest in UnifiedPush, and we successfully funneled some of that interest into XMPP as well.
I think it's a great combination since those projects are ideologically well-aligned, and we will likely do it again.

@testman
Saying that Matrix has become the go-to for the FOSS-community does not mean that this is true.

What/where is the source for this statement?

I know projects which use #XMPP and I know projects which use Matrix. I also know projects which use non-federated messengers.

Buem, para terminar la semana, nuestro ISP esta teniendo problemas en la zona, asi que #cyberdelia y nuestros servicios #XMPP y #Mumble estan offline hasta que los vuelvan a conectar con la civilización.

I'm testing #xmpp with #snikket today. It was straight forward to install the server. Like 10minutes. I was very impressed!!

But then the problem started… with #encryption key managment problem.

Basically I wanted to write to a #quicksy user (aka myself) and that didn't work because of some 'Aucun appareil pour qui chiffrer ce message n'a été trouvé. Recherche d'appareils en cours…'

I know that there is a lot of work to improve the situation. I'm open to report bugs, but I have no idea if it should be done in snikket, quicksy, gajim, kaidan …
