Vier Schalen mit dem XMPP Logo und den Chatapp Logos darüber. Conversations, Dino, Monal and Snikket.

@khleedril @janvlug

If you like to avoid #bigTech, you might like to avoid Signal, too, which is entirely based on AWS and Google.

I suggest #Dino by @dino (i.e. #Jabber/#XMPP), which works pretty great on #mobileLinux. Friends on Android and iOS can use #Conversations_im and #Monal, respectively.

@Knust @Steldamm @bensationell

Gibt es nicht. Es gibt Gründe gegen Signal, aber nicht angebliche "Skandale". Die tatsächlichen Probleme sind:

1. Es steckt unlöslich in AWS. D.h. DJT hat über sein Buddy Jeff B. ein #killSwitch! Spenden landen bei AWS.

2. Braucht 'ne Telefonnummer zur Registrierung.

3. First class clients derzeit nur für Android/iOS. Angeblich arbeiten sie daran den Desktop client irgendwann ohne Smartphone gangbar zu machen.

Besser #frei & #föderiert, z.B. #Jabber/#XMPP.

RE: https://23.social/@leyrer/116504864453089197

Thanks for the fascinating read, @leyrer

My main take-away is: *we* are the Cannibal Internet. The people running the #Fediverse on a shoe-string budget, not for profit. The #xmpp servers hosted in basements from #solarpunk energy. The artists posting their works here, with no greed-driven "algorithms". And we are growing bigger and bigger!

… the author looks at contemporary horror movies and argues that monsters work like mirrors. They reflect whatever sociopolitical anxiety is boiling underneath—economic precarity, environmental collapse, the feeling that the whole system wants you dead.

The [book] index itself works as a roadmap to how fictional horror captures and presents to us the horrors of capitalism. - Work Hates You: Antiwork Horror and Value Theory - Love Hates You: Feminist Anticapitalist Horror and Social Reproduction Theory - Nature Hates You: Psychedelic Eco-horror and Ecological Marxism - The Neighborhood Hates You: New Black Horror and Uneven Development - Commodities Hate You: Mass- Culture Horror and Commodity Forms - The Family Hates You: Elevated Horror and Family Abolition - Feelings Hate You: Therapeutic Horror and Emotion Work

I got most friends and family on an alternative to the walled gardens by just not having those messengers. I let people decide, if they want to contact me by email, landline phone, personal visit, or this crazy messenger, they never heard of.

(Which was #Jabber/#XMPP in my case, back in 2014. I use it with bridges to IRC, Matrix, and SMS, so people have more options to talk to me 🙂)

@pkw

Almost all of my non-tech friends are on #Jabber/#XMPP (because I pestered them) and the few who are on iOS, use #Monal by @Monal.

Btw. they are rewriting the complete UI to solve some issues and make it modern looking.

Is monal good enough to recommend to my non tech friends that have iphones ?

It's Digital Independence Day again and #Conversations_im, the best Jabber/XMPP client for Android, is currently available for free on Google Play.

Enjoy true independence with independent messaging. No central server. No venture capital. No 'non profits' with centralized decision-making.

I have released version 1.15 of slixmpp, the python XMPP library.

Besides the continuation of @nicoco ’s quest to add every XEP under the sun, the most notable change is that building the rust module is now optional (i.e. in the absence of sufficient tools, slixmpp will happily be installed using the pure-python fallback for the JID module, which is kind of important for Mac OS or Winslop platforms).

@thomas @BremerHonig

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).

https://xmpp.org/extensions/#xep-0384-implementations
https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/Tech_pages/OMEMO

#XMPP #OMEMO #Kaidan #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 …

Voy a empezar a insistirle más a mis contactos cercanos que empiecen a usar XMPP, las plataformas privativas y centralizadas están cada vez peor en cuanto a privacidad y modelos de negocio. Así que escribí este artículo al que de ser necesario voy a referenciarlos, espero que se entienda bien.

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.

New progress note available (after 3 years during which I posted here on ActivityPub instead of on the blog):

https://www.goffi.org/id/libervia-progress-note-2026-w16-ooph

I'm talking about current work on installation/configuration simplification and the new forge, focus on web frontend and redesign and work done with current metadata reduction and serverless XMPP (Tor, contacts e2ee, new pubsub implementation).

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`)

Monal 6.4.20 (Build 1090, PR #1621) released.

I’m happy to announce the release 0.17 of the poezio terminal #XMPP client!

This features adds support for XEP-0444: Message reactions.

You can read more about it on my blog: https://blog.mathieui.net/poezio-0-17.html

Fun fact: poezio was one of the very first clients with support for message reactions, during the XMPP sprint where they were initially fleshed out, but the PoC branch got lost in a forge move 🤐
