Can't say. Maybe #Emacs, because it is so versatile. It's not only my text editor, but also git frontend, window manager, email client, terminal program and more.

Apart from that: Anything that advances users #digitalSovereignty. E.g. the #freeSoftware that runs the #fediverse, but also free and federated #instantMessaging, i.e. #Jabber/#XMPP. For all of us, who despise walled gardens on #GAFAM asphalt.

Also,... #Debian #Trixie Nutzer, die #gajim als #XMPP / #Jabber Client verwenden und nach der coole Tab-Funktion suchen, um eine Vervollständigung für Nicks zu erreichen: Versucht es mal mit einem @.

@kolev

More ideas:

1. Use the #RFC7259 "Jabber-ID" header in your email.

2. Link your #Jabber contact in your #fediverse profile! (You already do that, but others might not.)

3. Put your #JID in your #vcard:

IMPP;PREF=1;TYPE=home:xmpp:me@domain.org

4. Have Jabber stickers on your laptop, your bicycle, your front door… 🙂

5. Wear an #XMPP hoodie as often as weather and social norms allow.

What's the best way to promote the standard chat protocol XMPP?

My current strategy is to never give out my phone number and only give out an email address. If emails become more frequent, I send them a #Snikket invite.

Additionally, I advertise my JID in place of phone numbers.

@hack13 Why do you "miss" #XMPP ?

We're right here.

I am sorry... I have just been struggling to really enjoy running #matrix because it just feels even using dendrite a bit to heavy for what it is... I really kinda miss the #xmpp stuff which just feels more robustly usable, and less admin headache. It might be just me, but wondering if others agree?

I mean I like the fact of Signal's security and other apps... but I prefer being on a platform that I can host and control.

@QuadRadical exactly, if what one is using matrix is for public groups, Delta Chat is not for that, we are working on adding channels ( #telegram style) support, tho, and if it is for a closed community ex. people that meet in a physical place, is also good, but not for a community open to random people in the internet like a support group for some project, #matrix and #xmpp are both not good IMHO but there isn't anything better out there right now

@chanakya @jerry

@methuselah in #xmpp the groups are centralized, server dies, group dies, Conversations is super nerdy, not really on the mainstream level in UI/UX, and in iOS the situation is WAY WORSE with #Monal, in #Conversations groups are rarely encrypted and you get a pretty on your face encryption selector to disable encryption or choose encryption flavor, this is REALLY BAD

I will not even talk about the multi-device support and possibility to easily move your profile between OSs like on #DeltaChat

Warum sollten Messenger und soziale Netzwerke föderiert sein?

Beispiel: Damit User eine echte Wahlfreiheit haben und man in Fällen wie diesen https://www.zdfheute.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/meta-facebook-ki-chatbot-kinder-richtlinien-ermittlungen-100.html dem Anbieter den Rücken kehren kann ohne darauf angewiesen zu sein, dass auch alle Kontakte wechseln.

@toastal

Some people would argue, that #XMPP is broken, too, esp. the #OMEMO 1 vs. OMEMO 2 situation. But it is probably less broken than Matrix, and definetively better to fix due to its extensible protocol design…

I'm using #slidge by @nicoco to use Matrix from my #Jabber client. Can't say, if it is better than the #ejabberd solution, b/c I never tried the latter. But works for me! But have at least one client with adhoc commands available, e.g. #Gajim or #Profanity!

So f☠cking pissed off at #Matrix (again). My Android phone with a broken screen picked up my invite to a private/encrypted room. It is the only device I own that can both send & receive messages but is almost unusable at this point. My Matrix #XMPP gateway built into #Ejabberd seems to be able to send messages but can’t receive them (it mostly works in unencrypted rooms, but I wish it would stay in the room like a bouncer)—that is after taking 10 minutes to join a room with <10 folks & 1 message & it takes 1–2 minutes for the messages to sync elsewhere (all this eventual consistency sure is worth it amirite?). The past 2 days on & off I have been trying different Matrix clients with a Matrix account (not thru XMPP gateway) on desktop (Fractal, Fluffychat, & the resource hog Element); all of them can join the room, decrypt messages, but NONE OF THEM can send a message… timing out without a visible error. I boosted my own toot yesterday about the Olm situation wanting to try Nheko & kazv, but they are marked as vulnerable on Nixpkgs for that weird architecture decision.

If this were an XMPP MUC (or Signal group), I could still have encryption for multiple users with multiple clients without so much broken shit—& would be faster + better for the environment on resource usage. Why is Matrix always so f☠cking broken‽

I give #xmpp a try every few years hoping that it has become easier to use.

I recently installed Kaidan and started chatting with another person using Kaidan. I then installed Conversations by @daniel hoping I could continue the conversation there.

However, every message we had sent in @kaidan had been replaced with “This message is encrypted with OMEMO 2 but could not be decrypted”.

I guess the keys are stored locally and needs to be transferred to Conversations somehow?

I'm on xmpp.earth which seems to have good XEP support.

Where do I go from here? Thanks!

The upcoming chat control regulations in Europe threaten our privacy and freedom of expression. These measures could lead to mass surveillance, infringing on our fundamental rights and creating a chilling effect on open dialogue.

In contrast, using XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) and monocles chat offers a secure alternative. XMPP is decentralized, giving users control over their data, while monocles chat ensures end-to-end encryption for confidential conversations.

Let’s prioritize security and freedom in our communications! Choose platforms that protect your rights.

@woody @contrapunctus

There are various #XEPs handling many aspects of #XMPP, e.g. "XEP-0425: Moderated Message Retraction".

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0425.html

@contrapunctus @GrapheneOS Seriously. #IRC, #XMPP, or don't bother.

@GrapheneOS @contrapunctus The only disadvantage to #XMPP right now is that the iOS clients are kind of wonky, which in your case doesn't really matter. The #Conversations client as found in F-Droid is excellent, The console #Profanity client is good, #Dino on the desktop worked well enough for the five minutes I checked it out.

Sign up for an account somewhere, and try out some of the larger public channels.

https://search.jabber.network/channels/1

The @dino and #Conversations_im developers have a booth at @FrOSCon. Come find us to talk about #XMPP and grab some merch.

I love @FrOSCon. It was the first conference I ever went to 2̶0̶ 19 years ago. But damn those start times are not hacker friendly.
I'm so tired I just tried to put whole beans in my portafilter.
Anyway see you there soon.
#XMPP #froscon #Conversations_im

Hello! I need some assistance understanding #xmpp on #yunohost now that I (finally) upgraded to 12. Seeing metronome is no longer part of the core, I tried to install #prosody but it seems like the port 5222 is already being used? I'd like to bring the xmpp back up, and if possible, with audio/video calling allowed so I can finally move my family off messenger!

Hi @daniel
I'm going to be there tomorrow at #froscon to meet you and talk about #xmpp :)

Can we meet?

To be fair: The largest #Jabber group chats I'm aware of, have ≈ 1 k participants. We don't really know how well things work with 25 k people in a #MUC.

Also, I'm not sure, if the #XMPP community could handle storms of CSAM and gore. Maybe not better than other distributed networks. Some tools, like #RTBL and #messageModeration are in place, but it is not clear to me, if that would suffice, if the current popularity boost for Jabber continues.

@GrapheneOS I like how this #Matrix issue has never been a problem with #XMPP. 😅

For anyone looking to take a look (or another look) at XMPP, I wrote the The Quick and Easy Guide to Jabber/XMPP for new users.

There are plenty of active communities on XMPP, you can find them on search.jabber.network/tags

There is XEP-0382: Spoiler messages (status: deferred). Does anyone implements it or is it not good enough in practice? 🤔

#lang_en #XMPP #questions

Also so wirklich privat (ich rede nicht von Sicherheit) ist #Signal oder #Threema auch nicht. Will man von seinen Freunden gefunden werden muss man seine eigene Telefonnummer verwenden bzw. mit dem Account verknüpfen.

Dann doch #eMail zum chatten oder #XMPP da kann ich dauernd einen neuen Account anlegen ohne Kosten.

It is something that's irritating me for months: Why can't there be a proper implementation of the XEP-0424 (Message Retraction) in #XMPP clients for Android? Of course there are many features of modern centralized messenger platforms such as WhatsApp and Signal which take a greater effort to bring onto XMPP clients, but this?

Conversations never had it, monocles chat did, however now the supposed message retraction on monocles chat is just an edit of the message to leave it empty instead of the utilization of the actual thing known as retraction. Not even a proper way of deleting messages locally, like making chat bubbles go away exists on both clients. Both of these functions were available on Blabber, which in my opinion was the best fork of Conversations and I deeply hope it returns.

Will EU force WhatsApp to open the specs s that it can be interoperable like XMPP?

Matrix Live S11E07 - Reflections on Matrix criticism over the last week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyuqM7RbX5E

Nice seeing that feedback and criticism and issues are not ignored at @matrix like it seemed, they actually are aware and they want to improve. Nice.

Ironically they should improve their communication. Really glad I watched this video, changed my thoughts towards #Matrix to be a bit more positive.

Still think we need more:

- interoperability with #XMPP
- bug/performance fixes
- server migration

@erebion @matrix @matthew I’d rather donate towards improving #XMPP clients 🙂

A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats

We have published a new blog post recently: https://providers.xmpp.net/blog/2025-07-20-rising-tide-lifts-all-boats/

Here we cover our #survey results to gather feedback from #XMPP #server #operators. We also provided more background on the project's purpose.

Thanks to all survey participants!

#chat #messaging #jabber #standards #interoperability #decentralization

Alt...

The overall result on "How do you like XMPP Providers overall?": 1 (Very dissatisfied) - 1.69% 2 - 0% 3 - 32.2% 4 - 37.29% 5 (Very satisfied) - 28.81%

Well. Is this #xmpp revolution happening or what?

With all the Meta AI / privacy and #chatcontrol discussions, there ought to be a community way forward in the works no?

And do not get me started on signal, or matrix, I think we have already established that a decentralised and scalable solution is the way to go about this.

#digitalsovereignty

@iznogoud it may happen… but the lack of a decent iOs client is not helping it. I just experienced it by creating a MUC for the skateboard group I am part of.

I was hesitating between IRC and XMPP, but chose the second one as it's clients supports history and channel persistence by defaut, but I also may propose IRC gateway using biboumi, but that's next step!

FIY the clients that I use :
- https://xmpp.org/software/psiplus/ on computer

- https://xmpp.org/software/monocles-chat/ on android

#xmpp #irc #biboumi

Wait, did Movim just unlocked the global search feature in its chat messages? 😱

Thanks to the powerful tsvector/tsquery #PostgreSQL feature (feature not available on MariaDB sorry 😔) you can now search messages by keywords in your history and directly load the conversation from the past 🕰️ !

Just click on the search button or hit Ctrl + F to open the brand new search panel 🔍
