I use #Jabber/#XMPP since ≈ 2014 and brought most friends and family to it. Works well for me, don't plan to change. What do you mean by "can't really see a way forward with it"?

Btw. I also use IRC, Matrix and even SMS using gateways, i.e. #biboumi, #slidge, and #sms4you, respectively.

XEP-0516 "XMPP Decentralized ID (XID)" that I've authored as part of my work on metadata reduction/serverless (https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/, thanks NLnet!) has been published.

The goal is to have your XMPP identity independent of your DNS-based domain. At some point, it should be possible to have your XMPP account independent of your server.

Note that current version has issues and will be updated soon.

Work is in progress on XMPP deeper decentralization.

#XMPP #NLnet #decentralization #NGI0

I'm curious about what people think is the goto, best, distributed, federated messaging protocol? #XMPP was cool back in the day but I can't really see a way forward with it.

I know #Matrix is a thing and it's the way I'm leaning.

I've also heard of #DeltaChat but don't know anything about it.

What is the default goto messaging protocol and service for people in the #Fediverse and #IndieWeb?

I would do Signal, but it sounds so complicated and costly. It sounds like the "Desktop" client requires one to sign in from the "Mobile" client every 30 days? So that means I have to install an emulator and use the "Mobile" client anyways.

But Signal doesn't allow more than one "Mobile" device per account? So I'll need to set up emulators or some figure out how to run the "Desktop" client on various devices?

And then Signal can just delete my account, or stop me from receiving any messages at any time they want, and perhaps even change the account name? Then I'd have to go and purchase a new account, and that's a big hassle. Could I even transfer my contacts over to the new account? Would I even be able to contact them?

No thanks! Just use #XMPP or #Matrix or... Cwtch or SessionX or something. I'd rather pay the server operator(s) instead of paying for new phone accounts. Fuck #Signal.

Am nächsten Sonntag (05.07.) ist es schon wieder so weit, es ist Digitaler Unabhängigkeitstag!

Und da die Temperaturen, wahrscheinlich so sind, dass wir uns auch draußen aufhalten können, verschieben wir unseren Juli-DID in den Alaunpark (15–19 Uhr).

Falls ihr eine Orga seid oder kennt, die sich in irgendeiner Form antifaschistisch betätigt, solltet ihr unbedingt vorbeischauen. Zeit, den Schritt ins Fediverse zu wagen!

Wir helfen euch beim Einrichten von Accounts und stehen für Fragen zur Verfügung. Außerdem wollen wir euch auch die Vorzüge von verschlüsselten, dezentralen Messengern (wie Matrix oder XMPP ) aufzeigen, damit niemand eure Nachrichten mitlesen und niemand den Stecker des zentralen Servers ziehen kann…

Unterstützt werden wir wieder u. a. von @azubisgegenrechts @datenpunks @npug @piratensachsen @piranhas @piranhas@piraten-partei.social

I’m going to be at #FOSSY in Vancouver in August to talk about #UnifiedPush!

There is also a full 2-day track dedicated to #XMPP.

Starting the week with a good deed — to myself!

Liked to have the latest #jabberEl 0.11.1 on #Debian 13 #trixie stable, so I uploaded it to #backports.

Should be installable in a few hours:

$ sudo apt install -t trixie-backports elpa-jabber

At this point, using #Jabber/#XMPP or other free and federated IMs is the second best thing we can do against #ChatControl in the #EU. The best is to write to our #MEPs before Wednesday. Do both!

#privacy #digitalRights #Emacs

@bazkie Possibly, the #XMPP could be used first — e.g. the #Prosody installation and configuration could be dead simple and it supports all necessary encryption out of the box.

As practice shows, the authoritarian governments usually one step behind the tech, the society is using. So, first time the simple solution, like Prosody on the server out of reach of Five eyes countries, bought for crypto and without logins logging, will be enough I think.

When the next generation of politics will learn about XMPP — well it's time to deeper and mass use mesh networks. As I heard, there are big communities of #Meshtastic in the Europe, especially in Germany.

Look at this as an endless battle between sword and shield.

Ich nutze #Jabber/#XMPP mit gateways zu IRC, Matrix und SMS. Gateways zu geschlossenen Systemen (Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram) wären möglich, will ich aber nicht 😉

IRC gateway (#Biboumi) nutze ich von #Movim, aber die Matrix- und SMS-Gateways hoste ich nur mich selbst, obwohl's zumindest das Gateway für Matrix auch schon bei Movim gibt. Historisch gewachsen 🤷

Als Clients nutze ich #Gajim, #Dino und neuerdings auch #jabberEl in #Emacs.

Movim 0.31.4 is out, and it's a security-focused one! 🔐

Over the past few weeks we received several reports about potential vulnerabilities. We reviewed all of them and took the opportunity to harden a few things: SSRF protection, cookies proper validation, a XSS issue in Space invitations has been patched and a few other things.

Nothing critical, but important enough to update as soon as possible 😸

A few call-related bugs were also fixed along the way 📞

There is brand new #freeSoftware written in #TclTk (!): #Tacky, a #Jabber/#XMPP client for #Linux and Windows with support for modern A/V calls and #OMEMO #e2ee. Pre-alpha now.

https://github.com/pounceandmiss/tacky

It's a #blastFromThePast, as I used to play a lot with Tcl/Tk in the mid-1990s. Can't remember much of it, though.

The latest blog post I’ve written for Prāv.

[…] we at Prav are dedicated to freedom-respecting and decentralised software. We oppose proprietary and centralised messaging services like Telegram, since they concentrate power into a single entity. However, this step taken by the government has dangerous implications for all messaging services, regardless of whether they are centralised or decentralised.

My most important #Jabber/#XMPP servers are not public: The one of my company, the one of my #freeSoftware project, my private one.

Leaves my "social" one, #movim.eu, which is a little bit tied to the @movim project, but works well and has everything I need.

See https://joinjabber.org/docs/servers/personal/ by @joinjabber, but their most prominent recommendation uses #CAPTCHA unsolvable by me, and also https://providers.xmpp.net/ by @xmpp_providers!

recommend me your favorite public #XMPP server with great uptime and reasonable bells & whistles support for features used by Gajim & Conversations? but not Redacted, I already use that one for something else. boosts appreciated!

While #Jabber/#XMPP exists since 1999, I came late to the party and only use it since ≈ 2014. Got all my friends (but two), family, colleagues on it.

Meanwhile I co-admin both #prosody and #ejabberd instances. Relatively easy nowadays. I also use bridges to IRC, Matrix, and SMS.

I will not set up another chat platform. I will not set up another chat platform. I will not set up another chat platform. I will not set up another chat platform…

So um… #xmpp or #DeltaChat?

@pidgin

While I'm not using presence and don't plan so, I would love to use "#XEP-0108: User Activity", again. It serves a similar purpose as presence state, just in a better way.

Unfortunately, this features has been dropped from #Gajim and never arrived in #Dino. It was helpful to see, if a colleague is in a meeting or at lunch etc. before writing to them.

Last night I didn't want to do my taxes... so I installed @prosodyim on my LAN switch, a #MikroTik RB4011

It was hypothetically easy (install&enable Containers, follow https://prosody.im/doc/docker to deploy on eMMC, forward the ports, add a certificate), so I played it on hard mode with a #punycode domain

Biggest challenge: MikroTik won't let you paste "☝" in a terminal

2nd challenge: finding an IDNA2003 client

Now say hi to xmpp:georg@☝.op-co.de (if your client permits)

Now that Converse will support OMEMO:2, I'm really looking forward to more clients supporting it.

The main reason is that Stanza Content Encryption (SCE) is a game changer.

With legacy OMEMO you can only encrypt the body text, but not metadata such as retractions, reactions, chat state notifications etc.

This means you either have to accept sending this metadata as cleartext, or disable those features for e2ee.

With OMEMO:2 and SCE all of this can now be encrypted as well!

* 💻 Node.js support

@lutindiscret
#XMPP adoption is low or OMEMO adoption is low?
XMPP adoption is low for several reasons, among which NIH syndrome (😏) and the false idea that IM is easy.
OMEMO adoption is very high in direct messaging and private chat, because the most popular clients among non-tech people just default to activating (when they even allow not activating it).
Dumping any unencrypted message is very possible through server if that is desirable.

MRW people try to tell me that a brand new competitor to #XMPP is “built on established standards”:

We had a Prav mini meetup in #Delhi yesterday featuring @badrihippo, @ravi, @kishy, and @disaster2life

We worked on getting Prav's financial records organised in a single place, so we can refer to it easily. This will make work easier for the Treasury Team and also enable greater transparency in our reporting

Our original meeting place, Chaayos in Connaught Place, turned out to be too crowded. We instead sat at Andhra Canteen for a couple of hours to kick off the session

After an ice cream break, we went to Café Coffee Day but they were not welcoming and wanted us to order more just for the privilege of sitting down. So we left the place and wrapped up at the bench outside in the infamous Delhi heat

Note to self: bring fully charged laptops next time!

When I was experimenting with #XMPP, while I could use multiple clients, ie phone and desktop Linux app, only the device which initiated the conversation remained encrypted. Does Delta chat behave similarly?

To register, please contact me. If you already have a Mastodon, Pixelfed or Friendica account, you can also register with one-click by using our bot @xmpp_bot

You will then be able to us an app or our fully-featured #Movim service, which also boasts blogging capabilities. Use your XMPP account to connect: https://chat.gayfr.online

@abucci There is actually a TODO list implementation in Libervia based on XEP-0346 (also does grocery list, ticket system, and whatever shared list). I'm also the author of XEP-0471 and linking both is planed at some point (but I'm very overwhelmed).

E2e encryption is implemented in backend, but not yet accessible for this feature in Web UI.

See https://www.goffi.org/id/libervia-v0-8-la-cecilia-BdQ4

#Libervia #XMPP #TODO #Shared #List #decentralization

Alt...

Screenshot of the shared list interface with the grocery list UI. We can see many grocery items in French (bread, pears, etc). Some of them have a red strike to show they are done. On the right there is a number to show the quantities, and a cross to remove the item. On the top there is a button to create a new item, invite people to the list (read-only or read/write), search items (for long lists), and at the bottom a text field to quickly add new item.

Open up chat to myself. Send a chat for each todo item. Use a reaction emoji to indicate status (done/cancelled/etc). Reply to the chat to add additional information and/or surface the item. All of it is shared among all devices, encrypted, and generates notifications. The one feature I'd like that I haven't figured out how to hack manually is scheduled reminders. An XMPP chat app that had scheduled messages could do it! I haven't found an XEP specifically about this but XEP-0471 might be bent to this purpose.

If you want to communicate with your Hermes Agent via #XMPP, here's a plugin for that. Code is extracted from three different PR's to the hermes agent github repo to add XMPP that weren't being merged, and moved into a plugin. I just cherry picked and packaged everything with the help of local models running on my laptop, with a final pass by a cloud model (if you read the readme carefully you can tell what cloud model) to update documentation and fix a few loose ends the smaller (but free and more environmentally friendly) local models left. Everything I could test is working. Unfortunately I don't have an XMPP client that supports reactions, typing indicators, threads, or voice messages. But it connects to the server via a secure connection, and both versions of omemo work. However you feel about #AI, communication should at least be E2E encrypted and not controlled by discord/telegram. github.com/fastfinge/hermes-xmpp-plugin

Oui Google a fortement participé à "faire croire" que RSS et XMPP n'était pas/plus utiles, mais c'est aussi en continuant de propager ce genre de rumeur que beaucoup de personnes continuent visiblement de croire que ces protocoles sont morts.

Ne devenez pas les défenseurs de Google en perpetuant leur narratif de "mort de tel ou tel protocole" : la force d'un protocole contrairement à un produit est justement que c'est difficile à tuer !

RSS et XMPP sont toujours là, XMPP est d'ailleurs toujours très activement développé et ses fonctionnalités et clients s'améliorent d'années en années en offrant un protocole léger, pratique et facile à déployer pour faire de la communication instantanée.

Folks. I just had the very first #XMPP Space Call 😸!

There are still a couple of things to iron out, but you can now make conference calls in XMPP Spaces! ✨

After 15 years of work on #Movim , countless commits, improvements, and refactoring, I am incredibly proud to offer everyone a fully standard, lightweight, and open-source alternative to major platforms like #Discord, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.

There are a few minor things left to standardize, but you can already build another client that fully integrates with Movim.

On the XMPP server side, everything is already in place. 👌

- Try to improve location sharing accuracy
- Improve contact last activity timestamps
- Fix several bugs

@debacle @gnemmi @smn @movim Hey, SFU (big conferences) is not just on the roadmap, there is a working prototype for nearly 2 years now (based on the excellent Galène), with corresponding specs in XSF /inbox. Well was working actually, broken right now due to big changes in web frontend, but should be back soon.

#XMPP #Libervia #AV #Conferences #Galene #SFU

@jae I'll give it to you that onboarding could be kind of an issue, but #XMPP has come a really long way in that regards. From the server side of things (with mod_invites) just as from the client side with easy onboarding straight from the app without having to create an account from a web page or anything like that.

Onboarding from a recent (mid 2025) client is as easy as installing the app, open it, choose create account, pick one from the drop down list of server, provide a password. Done.

@smn

> Why are we sleeping on this tech? Is there some unmitigated downside I haven't discovered yet?

No. The other tech has better advertising .. and that's all there is to it.

What #Conversations_im did was prove that the technology works. When #Matrix reinvented the wheel as an eventually consistent graph database with a JSON API, they didn't do it because #XMPP didn't work. They did it because their investors were seeking control over the entire stack.

#Conversations_im 2.20.0 has been tagged with some significant UI work.

• The main screen now features prominent access to search and can suggest contacts to you for quick navigation
• The media attachment flow has been reworked and is now closer to the input field.
• The tablet layout has been improved and the title bar is now split into two.

#XMPP #Jabber #Android

@kaifi The fediverse is already using #XMPP for messaging: The chat in @peertube live streams is powered by XMPP.

Apparently, the #matrix.org home server costs the foundation $240k a year in server hosting costs. And that is to host 370k monthly active users. In other words 65ct/user/year (excl. IT people and moderation, which seems to be an additional $1/user/year). I wonder if similar data exists for public #xmpp servers, that is number of monthly active users and yearly hosting fees. I often hear that XMPP is more efficient for small servers, but would also be nice to know for big ones.

@technomancy They already tried to vocally kill email eons ago with Google Wave which was proudly built on #xmpp.

#Conversations_im is currently in the Top 50 most download apps on @fdroidorg.
In the messaging category it ranks fairly close to #Element X and has almost 3x the downloads of #DeltaChat. Just to give you a perspective on loudness on social media vs reality.

Audio and video calls in Movim are more flexible than ever!

You can now start an audio call and share your webcam afterward. If you only want to stream your screen it is also possible 😽

There is still some small issues to iron out but we'll get there in the upcoming weeks!

The next big step will be to add all those awesome video-call improvements in the Spaces.... and integrate a SFU to make everything scale to the moon. 🚀

@osr De todos modos yo soy un recién venido, hace unos días nomás aprendí a usar #xmpp (tengo dos contactos e intercambié unas palabritas), hace 6 meses que uso GNU/Linux, así que entender cómo hallar contenidos en Peertube todavía puede esperar un poco más en mi caso.

chat-translate is a new project I’ve worked in the past couple of days.

It does exactly what the name suggests: it translates chats in real-time.

It registers a bot user to a chat room, and it translates all the messages in the room (or on a per-user basis) directly into the configured languages, so users in the room can communicate in their own languages.

Supports:

• #Matrix
• #Signal
• #XMPP (TODO)

It currently uses the Google Translate API anonymously to translate the messages, but support for multiple translation backends is work in progress.

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)

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.

@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.

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! ✨

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. ✨

Heute probiere ich die Conversations App für #XMPP aus. Davor hatte ich mit Quicksy einen ersten Eindruck gewonnen, fand es aber Kontraproduktiv, das die Telefonnummer Teil der Adresse ist. Nun habe ich ein neues Konto. Noch habe ich leider fast keine Kontakte die XMPP nutzen.

Gibt es hier Leute die das nutzen und Kontakt aufnehmen möchten? Matrix habe ich mittlerweile auch auf dem PC, aber noch nicht mobil. Muss erst wieder Platz auf dem Handy machen.

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).

@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.

You know that it is possible to create a #mailbox and an #xmpp account freely without phone number or existing email address?

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.

On that note… #Prav is offering 20,000 INR (212 USD, or 181 EUR) to anyone who can implement a particular feature for them.

The Org
Prāv is a fork of Quicksy.im run by #FreeSoftware activists, which provides an #XMPP service and branded apps to make it easy to bring non-geeks to XMPP.

Prāv is a #cooperative, which means anyone can become a member and take part in the project governance and decision-making. It’s the ultimate form of putting users and workers in control!

If you want to defeat #capitalism , it’s important to support cooperatives like Prāv instead of privately-owned hierarchical companies and organizations.

The Task
Prāv uses phone numbers for easy registration and contact discovery. As with Quicksy, the phone number becomes part of the user’s XMPP address. This means the user’s phone number is visible to channel admins and to anyone the user adds as a contact.

The task is to modify the clients to let users enter a username which will be used for their XMPP address instead. This way, phone numbers will continue to be used for easy registration and contact discovery, without revealing the phone number to other users.

No other XMPP client or service has this functionality yet! 🙂 Go check out their Codeberg repository. https://codeberg.org/prav

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`)

#Prav can be installed on #iOS through #Sidestore.

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 🤐

The #XMPP community operates on the principle that good ideas will prevail. Showing a warning when it’s nighttime for a contact has had three independent implementations in a little over a month.

We don’t need CEOs. We don’t need kings. #ThatsXMPP

What we once had at the height of the XMPP era of the Internet.

XMPP excelled because it was lightweight (ran easily on modest servers), truly open (anyone could run a server), and federated seamlessly with major networks like Google Talk and Facebook Messenger via bridges.

@joinjabber ooh, that is GREAT to hear! Thanks!

Is there a reason that I should be using #Jabber versus other #XMPP clients?

@praveen @prav

I think if you offered a good #XMPP onboarding meaning creating a account, avoiding spam &bots, explaining how to use the account in the myriads of XMPP clients on every platform, handpicking a few and helping the UX of them then you would have success not only users that starts from Prav android app.

I use XMPP since 20 years. There are always features in other services that people would complain not see here.

Problem is quality of clients out there accross all platforms

RE: https://todon.nl/@burnoutqueen/116419705967006483

BTW, #DeltaChat has proven to be able to get through "the great firewall". So, a real world example that it is a great encrypted chat alternative and/or backup to #Signal #Matrix & #WhatsApp

Can #XMPP make it through?

#Resilience is an act of #resistance

@SrRochardBunson Yes, #XMPP works without issues in China. #DeltaChat in contrast did have issues on Android because of it using Firebase Cloud Messaging for push notifications which seems to be blocked in China. I could still read Delta Chat messages when opening the app, but I wouldn't receive live notifications when Delta Chat is closed.

#Prav has crossed the 1000 user milestone now!🎉

Many thanks to all of you for the support!

I've just pushed a new pubsub implementation (basically a reimplementation of SàT/Libervia Pubsub on top of Libervia Backend).

May not sound exciting like that, but it's a major thing for many reasons, I hope that I can find time to blog about that tomorrow.

Also it implements XEP-0496 (Pubsub Node Relationships) and XEP-0499 (Pubsub Extended Discovery) which means node hierarchy, useful for things like forums.

This is context of https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/

#Libervia #XMPP #Pubsub #nlnet #ngi0

Idea of the night: Proton's next product should be “Proton Chat,” which would simply be an XMPP account with encryption enabled by default. This could revitalize the protocol while offering a decentralized and interoperable solution.

#XMPP @protonprivacy

@pixelschubsi @adbenitez new protocols are fine. The point may rather be that contrary to popular nerd belief protocols are only one part of an effort. What distinguishes #deltachat from #xmpp is that one is a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms and using standards under the hood, while the other is a set of specs with many different implementations and UX approaches on the various platforms, and sometimes tenuous compatibility between them.

@adbenitez It's easy to say that one doesn't need better protocols after those better protocols have become so ubiquitous that you don't even realize how you're using them yourself.

Apple APNS and Google FCM use #XMPP technology to deliver push messages instantly. All the other messengers listed (#Signal, #Element, #DeltaChat) thus use XMPP technology. Everyone uses XMPP, but when it is about marketing, suddenly XMPP is not necessary.

I am very sorry for you to need to cope with this:

the best option for private chatting TODAY when it comes to #security, usability/user-friendly, #resilience, #digitalindependence and #freedom is #DeltaChat a chat app that uses #SMTP + #IMAP at its backbone, not your favorite "perfect" chat protocol, you don't need new better protocols, you need tools that actually work for the people

#xmpp #matrix #simplex #signal

#XMPP #ejabberd is 200 the absolute maximum number of occupants that a MUC can have, or can I raise that somehow? #lang_en

Si vous utilisez Conversations sur Android pour #XMPP, et que vous avez un souci de connexion, désactivez la connexion dans le menu de gestion des comptes, puis réactivez et acceptez le nouveau certificat. Ce sera bon à nouveau.

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 –.

#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.

How hard is it to propose an #XMPP XEP?

Right now it seems name changes are applied retroactively to past messages, or at least Gajim does it that way. This means we can't use our display name to indicate who is talking.

@skyweird::gryphon says that didn't used to be the case when they were using XMPP back in the day? Which means someone came along and fucking changed the semantics of namechanges out from under everyone? (Which by the way, over in Matrix land they're trying to do /exactly/ that. There's a setting to retroactively apply name changes in Element now. It's /on by default/ IIRC. I bet one day they'll remove it.)

We need a way to embed your name into the message itself. That embedded name overrides whatever your global/per-room display name is. Singlets can leave it off and have their retroactive name changes; we can enforce actually seeing our names like they should be.

(Of course it's possible to infer the correct name from the chat history, which is what clients did before, but that's only reliable as long as some jackass doesn't come along and change the semantics out from under you, nuking the names on years of chat history... embedding the name would be a very clear signal "HEY, KEEP THIS NAME".)

I could write up a spec myself if that'd be helpful!

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.

#CLT2026 #Jabber

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 …

Il y a quand même un truc qui me gène énormément quand je vois des libristes conseiller Signal, c'est que même si on passe le fait que c'est centralisé et basé aux États-Unis, c'est ouvertement hostile aux clients alternatifs utilisant leur serveurs (ce qui rend l'intérêt de faire un client alternatif quasi nul), cf. LibreSignal.

Pas sûr que les passerelles soient super bien vues non plus.

Alors bien sûr je ne suis pas neutre du tout (très impliqué avec XMPP).

I released yesterday version 0.16 of Poezio, a terminal XMPP client, here is the blog post with a release announcement: https://blog.mathieui.net/poezio-0-16.html

Note: the fact that we very often share version numbers with @profanity is a pure coincidence!

With the help of the Prosody channel (specifically MattJ), I finally fixed sending XMPP messages from Home Assistant.

modules_enabled = { [...], "muc_bot"}
known_bots = { "homeassistant@example.com" }

Dé-GAFAMiser #1

> Mes solutions alternatives ¶

C'est suite au message d'@loevenbruck, l'auteur, qui annonçait son indépendance des GAFAM que je me suis lancé.

Aujourd'hui la quasi totalité des applications que j'utilise en remplacement sont installées sur un serveur d'application auto-hébergé, sauf Signal.

> Un serveur d'application #Yunohost ¶

J'ai choisi d'installer l'ensemble des applications sur Yunohost, le serveur d'application simplifié, dédié à l'auto-hébergement. Cette distribution basée sur Debian dispose d'un catalogue étoffé d'applications prêtes à l'installation.

J'ai commencé il y a 2 ans sur un micro-PC d'architecture AMD64, sur un microprocesseur N3000, puis j'ai basculé sur un micro-PC toujours en AMD64, sur un microprocesseur Intel de 11ème génération, i5-11320H, histoire d'être tranquille pour quelques années.

> Le nom de domaine ¶

J'utilise les services d'#OVH depuis de nombreuses années pour gérer les domaines et l'hébergement de sites personnels ou professionnels.

Quelle chance, la gestion de l'API de gestion de domaines d'OVH est disponible sur Yunohost. Elle permet de créer, éditer, supprimer les domaines et sous-domaines de presque tous les besoins des applications.

Nous reverrons le sujet avec Cryptpad.

> La stratégie d'utilisation des sous-domaines ¶

Après quelques essais, j'ai installé le catalogue d'applications sur apps.newan.net pour laisser le domaine principal disponible. Le serveur de messagerie électronique fournit donc des adresses en "@newan.net".

Puisque les applications #Prosody, qui gère le serveur de messagerie #XMPP, et #Mastodon, qui fournit le serveur #ActivityPub, ne sont pas mutuellement exclusives, elles sont toutes les deux installées sur le domaine principal.

En revanche le serveur de messagerie instantanée (mais pas seulement) #Matrix ne supporte pas la concurrence. Il est donc installé sur le sous-domaine matrix.newan.net, ce qui surcharge les adresses Matrix de ce sous-domaine.

Cette installation est le résultat d'échecs et de réussites sucessifs. Le serveur ActivityPub sur le premier micro-serveur tournait sur le logiciel #Pleroma, puisque je n'avais pas réussi à installer Mastodon. C'est au passage vers le serveur sur i5 série 11, que j'ai réussi à installer Mastodon.

De même, j'utilisais initialement le serveur XMPP #Métronome fourni par défaut avec Yunohost. Ce n'est que lorsque j'ai eu besoin d'installer le serveur de visio-conférence #Jitsi, que j'ai désintallé Métronome pour le remplacer par Prosody.

La suite sur https://eikan.newan.net/Libre.
