Минуло вже 3 роки, як я відмовився від Matrix і підняв свій сервер XMPP для себе та спільноти (тобто, для кожного з вас).

І хоч ситуація з клієнтським ПЗ дещо нагадує Matrix - не всі "фічі" узгоджені, не на всі платформи доступні клієнти, і звісно ж push-сповіщення та заборона публікацій оновлень чи взагалі нового ПЗ в google play-маркет та apple store змушують ненавидіти ці та інші мегакорпорації...

Проте, це все одно весело:

• були й хвилі атак свинособак, яких ми успішно повирізали. Але, публічні кімнати, вони як зелені парки у вашому місті - не позбавлені неадекватів. Враховуйте цей момент при створенні власних кімнат.
• з'являлись і зникали приватні сервери (наразі я нарахував десь з 12 активних українських серверів, але не всі з них публічно про себе заявляють, тому поважатимемо їхнє право на приватність). Неофіційний список публічних серверів все ще можна знайти тут.
• В Gajim все ще не повернули аудіо/відео дзвінки, які у мене нормально працювали, проте вони вирішили, що треба спершу знайти відповідального за цей напрямок розробника. Тим часом в Dino та Kaidan додали їх підтримку.
• ProcessOne, компанія розробник ejabberd, офіційно почали працювати над своїм клієнтом fluux-messenger, але з шифрування там поки що є лише OpenPGP.
• Movim, у відповідь на впровадження Discord системи верифікації віку, додали у себе так звані простори, які об'єднують групу кімнат, і разом з цим додали групові аудіо та відео дзвінки.
• Conversations на Android став повністю безплатним в play-маркеті (раніше тільки в f-droid була безкоштовна версія). Google довів розробника на цей відчайдушний крок.
• майбутній реліз Pidgin може втратити підтримку XMPP, бо розробник дещо образився, і тому імплементація тепер залежатиме від спільноти.
• Slidge та інші бібліотеки та ПЗ постійно розвиваються, та пропонують транспорти в інші мережі включно з Matrix, Signal, WhatsApp, Discord та навіть фсбшний Telegram.

Це звісно ж не всі події, але варто згадати, що ще 3 роки тому пошук українських кімнат на search.jabber.network, який також використовується в Conversations, Gajim та інших клієнтах, не знаходив нічого. Звісно, українці та їх кімнати в XMPP були присутні завжди впродовж останніх 25 років, але не було інтеграції з централізованим пошуком кімнат. Наразі ж маємо ~33 публічні кімнати в зоні .ua і хто зна скільки приватних. Вважайте це за такий собі прапор чи цифровий слід, який доводить наше існування. Так само як і наші сервери у Федіверсі, Matrix, DeltaChat - це все має значення.

І... це все без якоїсь особливої реклами, ентузіасти завжди знаходять свій шлях до того, що їх цікавить найбільше, і в нашому випадку мова ж здебільшого про цифрову незалежність, де можливість обирати чим і в яких умовах користуватись залежить повністю від нас, а не від маркетингу закритих платформ, які своїх користувачів саджають на ланцюжок своїми підписками на такі потрібні або не дуже сервіси. Хочете спілкуватись в IRC, XMPP, Matrix, DeltaChat - спілкуйтесь, і ви завжди знайдете там тих, кому це теж важливо. Не соромтесь брати на себе відповідальність, і створювати українські простори першими, всього декілька витрачених хвилин, а все інше вже історія.

Open source is necessary, but not sufficient for digital sovereignty.

In his #LinuxDays talk, @daniel explains why: open code doesn't protect you from shutdowns, sanctions or a provider changing their rules. That takes federation and real open standards (which is where Jabber/XMPP comes in).

yo creatures, i need tech help with YunoHost and XMPP and DNS for it. installed metronome server, configured with succes the "Mandatory" records but i can not handle "muc" and "xmpp-upload".

XMPP is under "x.nemo.earth". tried given suggestion but not worked:

muc 3600 IN CNAME x.nemo.earth.
xmpp-upload 3600 IN CNAME x.nemo.earth.

tried also "muc.x" and "xmpp-upload.x".

#yunohost #xmpp #metronome #dns

Jusqu'à présent nous recommandions le client XMPP Monocles, mais ce dernier se met à utiliser de l'IA pour coder ses fonctionnalités de sécurité majeures, nous ne pouvons donc plus recommander un client aussi risqué !

Nous recommandons à présent Conversations : il a moins de fonctionnalités pour le moment mais son mainteneur nous a affirmé qu'il « ne prévois pas d'utiliser l'IA pour quoi que ce soit, que ce soit lié à la sécurité ou non ».

Hei #XMPP enthusiasts and @movim
Could you please comment next?
Currently login require password and email.
I'm not sure how good brute force protection on a server side.

So my concern is too weak protection nowadays. I think 2FA is necessary.

It limits my confidence to expose my account name publicly.

WDYT?

@der_exil_hesse @digitalcourage @xmpp

Meine Taktik ist:

1. Ich bin selbst nur via #Jabber, E-Mail, Postkarte und Festnetztelefon zu erreichen (und IRC, Matrix, SMS via #XMPP gateways). WA, Signal, Telegram u.a. walled gardens habe ich nicht. Ich überlasse die Wahl des Mediums meinem Gegenüber.

2. Bei Jabber biete ich ggf. meine Hilfe an, also Auswahl des Clients und des Servers. Ein paar Leute habe ich auf meinen eigenen Server eingeladen, mache ich aber nicht so gerne.

Meistens klappt's so.

@der_exil_hesse @digitalcourage

Hauptsache, frei und föderiert, statt zentralisiert bei AWS oder Meta 😉

Ich bleibe aber auch bei #Jabber.

Warum?

1. Nutze #XMPP seit ≈ 2014, da gab's sonst fast nur IRC. Ich kann Freunde und Familie nicht dauernd mit was Neuem nerven.

2. Als die-hard #Debian-User vermeide ich externe Pakete. Da gibt's so manch andere nicht. Als #Emacs-User finde ich z.B. #jabberEl ("apt install elpa-jabber") ziemlich #geil.

(1/2)

Was unterscheidet #XMPP von vielen anderen #Messenger?

XMPP ist keine Messenger App, sondern ein offener Standard.

Vorteile sind

✅ Freie Wahl des Anbieters
✅ Freie Wahl der Anwendung
✅ Unabhängig vom Betriebssystem
✅ Mehrere Accounts für unterschiedliche Zwecke möglich (persönlich, beruflich)
✅ Nutzen via eigene Domain
✅ Möglichkeit den Dienst selber zu betreiben

Die Vorteile sind nicht zu unterschätzen.

@prav

I'ld say, the weakest link is Windows.

Find ONE client that is:

- officially in the Microslop Store (like #Gajim)

- has A/V calls (like the latest version of #Dino for Windows)

- has message reactions (like the latest version of Dino for Linux)

- is not a web client (like #Movim)

In comparison the situation on iOS with #Monal and #SiskinIM is pretty good!

#Jabber #XMPP

Would anybody like to donate an #iPhone to us for testing? Old/used is okay. 🙂

#iOS is one of the weakest links in the #XMPP ecosystem, and we've been having a hard time finding iOS testers. Having an iOS device of our own would be very helpful!

My experience with the #XMPP #community is overall positive. Sorry to read, that you had different experiences!

TBH, I'm not entirely convinced of multi-protocol #instantMessaging clients anymore. I wonder, if bridges/gateways/transports make more sense nowadays?

At the moment, I'm using #Jabber clients with XMPP bridges to SMS, IRC, and Matrix. Works well for me, but only for #chat, i.e. no A/V calls between protocols.

https://slidge.im/

So finally read the at least the Pidgin part of https://op-co.de/blog/posts/emoji_xmpp_address/ and honestly considering just dropping #XMPP entirely from Pidgin 3 and even our server.

To put it nicely, the greater XMPP community hasn't exactly been kind to us over the years and really I'm starting to wondering why we continue to give them ammo.

Since the XMPP support in Pidgin 3 is currently just a skeleton, scrapping it isn't all that crazy.

So what do you all think?

#Pidgin #OpenSource

We've just finished setting up our XMPP stand at LinuxDays (@linuxdays) in Prague. If you are in the area make sure to visit us. We are here all day today and tomorrow (Sunday). We have stickers and buttons!

@OatPotato

your account is not tied to a single "home server" like on #XMPP, what is worse: in XMPP groups are centralized and tied to the server where you create them, the server goes down your group is lost, your whole profile is lost

on the other side, in Delta Chat if the server goes down it doesn't matter, you can replace it, in fact you use several servers at the same time so if one goes down it doesn't matter at all, you still keep sending and receiving messages

I'm on #Jabber #XMPP since ≈ 2014 and pestered most friends and family to use it, too. I'm also using IRC, but using an XMPP gateway, #biboumi.

Never tried Discord, but XMPP based #Movim seems to kill it 😉

I so wish we could go back to #XMPP and or #IRC ugh! @shivjm

@adbenitez @calaad @ploum @sebsauvage @brunoleyval @delta @tirodem

It's an advantage to have all data on device instead of server in terms of #decentralisation.

But I wonder, if it also can be a disadvantage in terms of convenience?

I very much like to use a new device or client, login and immediately have my contact list ("roster" in #Jabber lingo), group chats, etc.

The only problem with #XMPP: Most people want #forwardSecrecy, i.e. I can't read any #OMEMO encrypted messages, only #OX.

@calaad

> Un des problèmes actuels de Deltachat, c'est la centralisation de fait. Un peu tout le monde choisi le serveur "nine.testrun.org"

that was just an intermediate step, nine.testrun.org was offered as a stable relay, choosing randomly could end up in using a poorly maintained relay that got abandoned and then you or your family would be left like "Delta Chat doesn't work anymore"

anyways, good news! finally since the release 2.62.0 nine.testrun.org is no longer the hard-coded relay! now 3 random relays are chosen and used! so if one goes down the others will be used without ending up with a dead relay, and further improvements will come in this area, as replacing relays that stopped working automatically, learning new relays from the ones used by your peers etc.

so in fact Delta Chat right now is at the peak of #decentralization, way above #Matrix, #XMPP, #Mastodon and any other decentralized platform, because it is not only decentralized but it is "multi-homing", in other decentralized platforms if your server dies your profile is lost and you have to start all over, in #DeltaChat you can have several home servers at the same time and even replace them on the fly while keeping all your chats, contacts, messages, groups, channels, etc. your profile lives in your devices, not in any server

What feature in Conversations are you looking forward to the most?

#XMPP #Jabber #Conversations_im #Android

I got Asterisk connected to my #XMPP server but I can't get it to do any voice calls. Conversations hangs at "Discovering devices" when I try to call the PBX. Outbound from the PBX gives:

The bulk of the documentation out there is for the old Google Voice / Talk that hasn't existed in years, so I don't know if what I'm trying to do is even possible.

Vous voyez WhatsApp, le petit outil de messagerie utilisé par plus de 3 milliards de user ?

Personellement c'est un protocole que j'adore.
Malgré le fait d'avoir créer un serveur Matrix pour la communauté...
(Bah oui mais à l'époque je conaissais mal XMPP et merci aux réunions du @plugfr pour avoir corrigé ça).

Im Vorfeld des nächsten #DiDay teste ich gerade #Conversations als Messenger mit Fokus auf Telefonie.

Durch das ihm zugrunde liegende #XMPP Protokoll, einem lange bewährten und vor allem offenen Standard, bietet es sich nicht nur als Alternative zu WhatsApp sondern durchaus auch zu Signal oder Threema an.

In stundenlangen Telefonaten mit einem Freund, den ich als Tester gewinnen konnte, hat sich die Telefonie-Funktion der Android-App bislang als sehr stabil erwiesen. Vor allem unterwegs im Mobilfunknetz. Da hatte Threema uns zuvor eher genervt.

All this self-host techie discourse sounds, to me, a bit like a self-sufficiency dystopia. If we were discussing how bad public transportation is, and someone replied "just transport yourself", most of us would say "that's not it". But when we discuss wanting to get out of large American tech or of nazi-sympathyzing companies, the solution can't be "just host your services yourself". Having to do everything yourself is not my idea of a functioning society.

On vient de rater une soirée bowling/karting organisée pour les élèves de la section internationale du lycée ou va notre aîné, par l’association des parents d’élèves de section internationale. J’ai vu que la soirée était présentée sur Instagram (j’ai pas Instagram), et on soupçonne qu’elle a dû être annoncée sur un groupe WhatsApp (j’ai pas WhatsApp).

Ça me saoule, parce que ma meuf, et mère de notre fils, a les deux, Instagram et WhatsApp, mais comme c’est moi qui ai le plus de temps pour suivre tout ce qui est lié à la scolarité, ça me gave de faire peser sur elle une "charge Meta", parce qu’elle est la seule à pouvoir accéder à ces réseaux dont je ne veux pas sur mes appareils.

Du coup, je me pose la question de mettre en place un système pour accéder d’une façon ou d’une autre à WhatsApp, en mettant en place une connexion entre mon compte XMPP et le compte WhatsApp de ma meuf. Je sais que ça existe, mais je ne sais pas exactement comment ça marche, ni quel outil choisir.

Looking for a European alternative to American messaging apps, I'd settled on SimpleX - smart looking, ticked the privacy and security boxes. But now I find it is broadly a free speech, far-right adjacent company that seems to be acting as a conduit for Peter Theil's money to fund ReformUK.
Why can't we have nice things?
So, I'm going back a decade to see how #XMPP has aged. Turns out it has better encryption, and nice FOSS apps. We'll see how it goes. 🤞

Wer die Idee von dezentralen Netzwerke (wie hier im #Fediverse) gut findet, der sollte sich auf jeden Fall auch mal #XMPP ansehen.

XMPP ist ein offener Standard für Instant Messaging (#Messenger). Der Nutzer ist frei bei der Wahl des Anbieters und der Anwendung.

Mehr Informationen gibt es z.b. auf https://anoxinon.media/blog/xmpp1/

✅ Offener Standard
✅ Server und Clients sind als freie Software verfügbar
✅ Frei bei der Wahl des Anbieters
✅ Die Möglichkeit den Dienst selber zu betreiben

Im Interesse der Dezentralität gibt es meinen Vortrag „Jabber/XMPP: 25 Jahre Digitale Souveränität“ von den Datenspuren letzte Woche übrigens auch auf meinem PeerTube.

Bien sûr Conversations manque d'une fonctionnalité majeure : les workspaces (si vous êtes dev Android et intéressé·e par ça, jetez-y un œil !). Mais je ne peux pas recommander une app dont la fonctionnalité de sécurité principale est codé par IA vu le risque majeur que ça représente.

J'ai posé la question aux mainteneurs de Conversations et de Monocles concernant l'usage de l'IA et pour le moment seul le mainteneur de Conversations m'a donné une réponse : "Je ne prévois pas d'utiliser l'IA pour quoi que ce soit, que ce soit lié à la sécurité ou non.".

Je vous tiendrais au courant et ferai surement une page publique sur mon wiki des acteurs à privilégier et à éviter, ceux qui n'ont pas de colonne vertebrale ne seront plus recommandés quand c'est possible.

｢ the typical reaction is “I didn’t know this existed” or, more commonly, “I didn’t know this was still around,” combined with a mental image of an ICQ-era client. Demonstrating that XMPP provides a modern instant messaging experience on par with its Big Tech rivals can make a real difference ｣

This way, you can make money working on #libre software and #decentralized networks. Even better, it’s a #cooperative (in the process of registration), not a company - so the users and developers call the shots.

As the cherry on top, LLM-generated contributions are not allowed, as per the recent policy vote (announcement pending). So everyone who’s sick of genAI permeating the industry is welcome 🙂

Yesterday, I got `ejabberd` installed… today I try to make it work.

I was going to try and set it up so it served the `vk4msl.com` domain, however, I already have a blog at that address, and while I can define `SRV` DNS records, it still ultimately wants a certificate with a `vk4msl.com` subject alternative name in it.

This mirrors a constraint I'll have with Brisbane WICEN; they already have a site at `brisbanewicen.org.au` running on shared hosting.

So I settled on setting it up on a sub-domain. Set it up so I could hand out invites (one by one) for onboarding members… tried setting myself up an account, that works… but then I try to use it.

Thunderbird refuses to connect. No error given, just fails.
Try Dino: "could not connect to chat.vk4msl.com" — no errors in `stdout` / `stderr`.
Try Gajim: "Error"

Crank the debugging on `ejabberd` up, I get this:

https://gist.github.com/sjlongland/a99ec85563d2b57b1e118a3211bf749d

My Erlang is rather limited, but it seems it hits `mod_register:stream_feature_register/2` and dies. `mod_register` would be the code module, and `stream_feature_register/2` being the function being called; the `/2` means it is a function that takes two arguments.

I'm just doing a `cvs up -dP` of my `pkgsrc` tree and trying another update in case dependencies have shifted, but things shouldn't be *this* broken.

Couple years ago I hoped #Matrix would be better than #XMPP. Seems I was wrong.

#XMPP

I love a good tech rant, and from this I learned that #XMPP / #Jabber is still a thing, and in fact it’s evolved into a potentially pretty good thing (decentralized chat protocol with E2EE support).

Any of my fedi friends using XMPP? Do you have recommended clients (iOS, Mac) and servers?

Currently doing research for another blog post, and I noticed that WhatsApp and Signal only gained the ability to edit messages in 2023, whereas Conversations has had it since 2016.

To this day, both WhatsApp and Signal lack crucial features that Conversations has, like the ability to show what time zone a contact is in.

J'ai essayé d'installer un serveur #matrix sur mon serveur #yunohost mais :

- Synapse demande 3Go de RAM à lui tout seul !

Du coup je me rabats sur un serveur XMPP mais je me demande...

Technology wars are generally unproductive and unconstructive. At the same time there's undeniably competition - #ActivityPub vs #ATProto - or coopetition - ActivityPub vs #XMPP - between different technologies. Because success and popular uptake of one technology can lead to the demise of another.

Instead of diminishing the other #technology and engage in endless heated fights and conflicts, it is better to consider the technology one is most passionate about, and look for all those aspects and factors that are important for its uptake and widespread #adoption. Stand strong in your own shoes. Other #technologies then become input to learn from. What are weaknesses, what can be copied, and what can be done better? And also, where can there be unison, interoperability, collaboration, cross-pollination with other technology ecosystems?

Technology doesn't "win". It's people who stand to win or loose, depending on how well the tech supports their needs.

The 29th #XMPP summit has come to and end.

It was not the same as the physical summits in Brussels, but overall it went great for a first fully online event, and allowed equal participation from people who cannot or do not want to come to Europe once a year.

Thanks a lot to the organizers (and @daniel in particular) and other participants for making it happen.

Because some technical folks* like to complain about #XMPP…

Every single problem in XMPP can happen in any other decentralized protocol as well. Hype can die, funds can dry up, implementations can stagnate, walled gardens can impose restrictions, design decisions can turn out to be the wrong ones (necessitating possibly unaesthetic hacks)…

At some point we all have to put our foot down and support established standards, no matter how (temporarily) inconvenient. Users, testers, and developers must do everything they can to help.

If you are excited about my upcoming talk on #XMPP, I encourage you to read my essay, “Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence” (if you haven’t already). The talk will be more technical in nature, but the essay hits on similar topics. Think of it as an extended version of the first five minutes of the talk.

@daniel@gultsch.social

I have been invited to the “Datenspuren” conference in Dresden to speak about Jabber/XMPP and 25 years of digital independence.

The talk is going to be in German, but I've submitted an English version to other conferences.

https://talks.datenspuren.de/ds26/talk/GF8KMU/

- #Signal is undetectable for SORM (although I assume it's with enabled built-in option to bypass internet restrictions - I know that otherwise Signal is blocked in russia);
- #Telegram, WA, #Discord, #Zoom: it can detect its usage, leaks the metadata, but not the content or the parties;
- most importantly, Jabber - and by extension #XMPP - is COMPLETELY unprotected. it can even access message content.

so when you hear "time to reincarnate XMPP": please think twice before listening.

@strypey

> why would we use ChatMail for messaging apps instead of XMPP or Matrix?

there are several reasons!

first of all, it is the app closer to #WhatsApp appearance that has a multi-platform client with feature parity, you just have to tell people "install Delta Chat" the story is much more complicated with #XMPP

also when moving from one device to another, with #DeltaChat you can import backups from android into desktop etc. this is just not possible in xmpp since backups are not compatible across clients

#matrix server is super expensive/bloated, while you can host +1k users in the cheapest VPS or Raspberry Pi you find

when you host chatmail you have literally almost zero maintenance: accounts get created and removed automatically, messages get also wiped automatically, you don't need to handle account deletion requests etc. server storage is kept low

in matrix and xmpp clients if the server goes down or your server account gets removed you have to start all over in a new profile, you lose all your chats, messages, contacts, etc. with delta chat you can easily migrate servers without losing anything, your profile lives in your device and is owned by you!

you can also use several servers at the same time with Delta Chat meaning if one goes down it doesn't matter you keep receiving messages, this alone set it in a completely different league compared to matrix or xmpp

in matrix a lot of group metadata lives in the server, and in xmpp if the server where you created the group goes down, the group is lost, not even people in other servers can keep chatting in the group, is a big centralization problem

ofc, software and protocols can change, but this is just the reality today, I would not use xmpp or matrix for my family chat when what I get with Delta Chat is a much nicer user experience and much more resilient

#Prav app is not getting opened for users who downloaded it from #PlayStore. We are working on resolving the issue. The surrounding discussion can be found on our Codeberg repo. We apologize for the inconvenience.

If you can help with debugging the issue, let us know 😀

Lettre d'information XMPP de juillet 2026 https://linuxfr.org/news/lettre-d-information-xmpp-de-juillet-2026 #XMPP #xmpp

6 months ago, I stood up a #Matrix server using synapse and #OpenBSD as an experiment for Brisbane WICEN.

Matrix is great, feels a lot like Slack in terms of how it operates from the user. The fact it supports end-to-end encryption out-of-the-box is good for those that need that.

Not so great is its insistence that this be mandatory: the user has to be knowledgeable enough to back up their private key somewhere and know how to upload it back in, or have an existing client logged in that can "vouch" for any new client that logs into their account. I feel this will confuse and confound some of the less technical members of our group, so maybe not quite the holy grail I was after, but very close.

I won't ditch the server just yet, but time to evaluate something else: #XMPP. I've just installed #NetBSD (because, stuff LLM slop) on a VM, and I'll start working through getting ejabberd going.

XMPP isn't as far ahead on the many-to-many video chat that Matrix is (still in the design phase for XMPP, whereas Matrix Call has a working proof-of-concept based on LiveKit), but it is stable and well supported, so we'll give it a look.

@leanderlindahl @patrick_schreiner

oder wie wäre es mit xmpp?
#xmpp

@stefan327

#DeltaChat is also federated. It's based on the email protocols, and email is of course federated.

I do think #XMPP is the more elegant system, though. Email, which Delta is based on, relies on two different protocols—one to send messages and another completely different one to receive them—and in my experience the server software is complicated and difficult to manage.

@leanderlindahl @patrick_schreiner

My nerdy dream for slidge has always been that it becomes a community-owned-thing more than a me-thing. It seems we are heading towards that as today, we published the first (pre)release tagged by @whynothugo (i.e., *not me*). 🥳

🇫🇷 Après deux semaines de boulot, j'ai quasiment terminé la migration de notre serveur gayfr.live

Hormis la migration à isopérimètre de la stack d'observabilité, les gros changement concernent XMPP, notre messagerie instantanée.

Voici les principaux changements relatifs à nos services XMPP :

UTILISATEUR

- Possibilité pour chacun d'inviter de nouveaux membres.
- Passerelle Matrix, permettant les échanges (non-chiffrés) entre les deux mondes.
- Nouveau client Converse.js qui vient comme une alternative à Movim. Moins complet, il est toutefois plus familier pour certains utilisateurs, accessible ici : https://gayfr.live/chat
- Nouveau service UnifiedPush, pour se passer des services de notifications Google sur Android. Détails ici : https://push.gayfr.live

TECHNIQUE

- Déplacement vers un nouveau serveur.
- Montée de version Ejabberd : 23.10 vers 26.07 (la dernière disponible).
- Stockage des fichiers échangés sur S3 (au lieu du disque serveur).
- Observabilité Prometheus mise en place.
- La nouvelle version traite correctement le TLS 1.3 (qui posait des problèmes sur Conversations avec l'ancienne) et l'abandon de l'EKU client pour les certificats Let'sEncrypt (qui compliquait la fédération entre serveurs).

Beaucoup de nouveautés et d'améliorations, donc. La documentation a également été mise à jour.

Comme on dit : enjoy !

#gayfr #XMPP

🇬🇧 After two weeks of work, I've almost finished migrating our gayfr.live server.

Aside from the feature-preserving migration of the observability stack, the major changes involve XMPP, our instant messaging service.

Here are the main changes related to our XMPP services:

USER

- Everyone can now invite new members.
- Matrix Gateway, enabling (unencrypted) communication between the two platforms.
- New Converse.js client, offered as an alternative to Movim. Although less feature-rich, it may be more familiar to some users. Available here: https://gayfr.live/chat
- New UnifiedPush service, designed to eliminate the need for Google’s notification services on Android. Details here: https://push.gayfr.live

TECHNICAL

- Migration to a new server.
- Version upgrade: Ejabberd from 23.10 to 26.07 (the latest available).
- Storage of exchanged files on S3 (instead of the server disk).
- Prometheus observability implemented.
- The new version correctly handles TLS 1.3 (which caused issues with Conversations in the previous version) and addresses the removal of the client EKU for Let's Encrypt certificates (which complicated federation between servers).

So, there are plenty of new features and improvements. Documentation was also updated.

As they say: enjoy!

Come on Fediverse, is that the best you can do? Or is the feud between #Matrix and #XMPP real?

I believe the enemy is elsewhere, so I promote #interoperability and the XMPP / Matrix gateway.

@barbapulpe

There is a strange hatred of many #XMPP-loving people for #Matrix. They just don’t acknowledge its existence.

🇬🇧 UnifiedPush server deployed!

This is a bit technical, but here’s what it means for you: You may not know this, but when an app (even a third-party or open-source one) sends you push notifications on Android, it goes through Google’s servers (FCM infrastructure).

If you’re on Android and use Conversations (XMPP), you can now bypass this, and also for apps that support it (examples: Fedilab, Tusky, Moshidon, Elements...).

Now, go to Conversations settings and scroll all the way to the bottom to “UnifiedPush Provider”; enter `push.gayfr.live` in the “Push Server” field, and check your XMPP account in the field above it. That's it, Conversations now bypasses Google FCM.

Optionally, you can do the same for apps that support it. Prerequisite: you must install the app from F-Droid (not from the Google Play Store, which, unsurprisingly, blocks this feature).

To do this on such an app, go to the account or notification settings in your app and enable the "UnifiedPush" or "Push Notification Provider" setting. The rest should happen automatically.

That's it! The next time you receive a notification, it will go through our servers instead of Google's.

Note: Of course, if you’re on iOS, you’re screwed, as this option isn’t available.

Link in English with the list of supported apps at the bottom of the page: https://unifiedpush.org/

#UnifiedPush #XMPP #gayfr

🇫🇷 Serveur UnifiedPush déployé !

Un peu technique, mais concrètement pour vous : vous ne le savez peut-être pas, mais quand une application (même tierce, même libre) vous envoie des notifications (push) sur Android, elle passe par les serveurs de Google (infrastructure FCM).

Si vous êtes sur Android, si vous avez Conversations (XMPP), vous pouvez désormais remplacer ça pour les applications qui le supportent (exemples : Fedilab, Tusky, Moshidon, Elements...)

Préalable : vous devez installer la version de l'application depuis F-Droid (et pas depuis le Google Store, qui comme par surprise, bloque cette fonctionnalité).

Ensuite, allez dans les paramètres de Conversations et tout à la fin, "Distributeur UnifiedPush" ; entrez : push.gayfr.live dans "Serveur Push", et cochez votre compte XMPP dans le champ au-dessus.

Enfin, allez dans les options de compte ou de notifications de votre application, et validez le paramètre UnifiedPush ou Push Notification Provider. Le reste doit se faire tout seul.

Voilà ! La prochaine fois que vous recevrez une notification, elle passera par nos serveurs et plus par Google.

Note : bien sûr, si vous êtes sur iOS, vous êtes baisé, cette possibilité n'existe pas.

🇫🇷 Invitations #XMPP

Comment ça marche ? Très simple, si vous avez déjà un compte sur gayfr.live, vous pouvez désormais vous-même inviter qui vous voulez à rejoindre notre messagerie instantanée.

Voici un lien explicatif : https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/great_invitations/

Malheureusement il est en anglais, mais l'essentiel est en photos d'écran.

Ignorez le blabla initial, générez le lien de création de compte / invitation selon votre application XMPP (Gajim, Monal, Conversations, Movim...) et récupérez le lien (celui sous la forme https), puis envoyez ce lien à votre invité par tout moyen (email,...), dans certains cas vous avez aussi un QR code possible.

Ce dernier pourra alors ouvrir ce lien dans un navigateur et suivre la procédure (simple) pour créer son compte. Il lui sera aussi suggéré des applications à utiliser selon son appareil.

En cas de question, n'hésitez pas à me contacter (ainsi que si vous préférez que je crée moi-même un nouveau compte), sinon nos autres méthodes d'inscription restent valables (y compris le fait de suivre le compte @xmpp_bot ).

Faites passer... Plus on est d'utilisateurs, plus c'est utile et ça nous permet de fuir les #GAFAM

... et n'oubliez pas qu'un tel compte vous permet aussi d'interagir directement avec #Matrix (discussions, salons).

#gayfr

🇬🇧 #XMPP Invitations

How does it work? It’s very simple: if you already have an account on gayfr.live, you can now invite anyone you want to join our instant messaging service.

Here’s a link with instructions: https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/great_invitations/

It’s only available in English right now, but the main points are shown in screenshots.

Ignore the initial blurb, generate the account creation/invitation link for your XMPP application (Gajim, Monal, Conversations, Movim...), copy the link (the one in https format), and then send this link to your guest by any means (email, etc.). In some cases, a QR code may also be available.

The recipient can then open the link in a browser and follow the (simple) steps to create an account. They’ll also be shown suggestions for apps to use based on their device.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me (or let me know if you’d prefer that I create a new account myself); otherwise, our other registration methods are still available (including following the @xmpp_bot account).

Spread the word... The more users we have, the more useful it is, and it helps us avoid the #GAFAM

@KinkyKobolds mostly because "Tech-Illiterates" are lazy af…

• IRC & XMPP exist for decades and are supported on everything that can do TCP/IP and 80×25 MDA output.
• Mumble does Voicechats way better.
• Jitsi Meet does Videochats even better.
• Even with all the enshittification, Zulip & RocketChat are way better options.

Even a Mailinglist is better than Discord, because the latter one is an information blackhole that actively prevents archiving and searching.

• I'd rather self-host all of the above than ever touching discord!
  • There's a spechal place in hell for people who abuse discord as replacement for ticketing systems (instead of i.e. Zammad), git, MkDocs & ntfy.sh…
  • It's even worse than Microsoft Teams & Skype!!!

Lazyness is NEVER an argument against proper tech!

• And #discord isn't even #accessible.

We have a combined #XMPP and #UnifiedPush stand at #FrOSCon. Come say hi!

Rocket.Chat adding support for #XMPP is very good news.

„[XMPP] is self-hosted, air-gappable, open, and auditable, and it is light enough to hold up on constrained tactical networks. Those qualities are why it has stayed in service for two decades. The protocol is mature and trusted. […] It is usually the client software sitting on top of XMPP, not the protocol itself, that has aged.“

#ThatsXMPP

RocketChat, de Porto Alegre - RS - Brasil à OTAN

As operações de coalizão dependem do XMPP. A iniciativa *Federated Mission Networking* (FMN) da OTAN baseia-se nele, trata-se de um requisito permanente em solicitações de propostas (RFPs) de coalizões e ele tem sustentado as comunicações de missão por mais de 20 anos. Com a versão 8.7, o Rocket.Chat passa a oferecer federação via XMPP, permitindo que organizações coordenem ações com todos os parceiros da rede de missão a partir de uma plataforma única e soberana. Esta versão representa o primeiro passo de um desenvolvimento mais amplo: a federação nativa via XMPP, projetada como parte integrante da plataforma, em vez de ser apenas um recurso adicionado posteriormente.

Monocles, a #Conversations_im fork, is now making heavy use of LLM-generated code. Including its cryptography.

Meanwhile it hasn't backported critical security fixes that landed in Conversations (and other forks) over a year ago.

Use this information however you like.

In other news: Conversations is currently free of charge on both F-Droid and Google Play.

Signal dropping the #phoneNumber requirement, which never existed in the 27 years of #Jabber, is a step in the right direction. Congratulations!

It's still a centralized #walledGarden in the backyard of Jeff B. and there is still no native client for #Linux.

Great day at #Fedicon yesterday. I met lots of new people from the #ActivityPub community. I've always thought that #XMPP and the #Fediverse are ideologically well-aligned, and that our developer communities should talk to each other more. In that regard, it was a big success.

#Conversations_im is now available for free on Google Play until August 18th.

Whenever there is a conference with a strong #XMPP presence, I like to make the app available for free to make it easier for attendees to install the app and give XMPP a shot.

I'm attending #FOSSY and #FrOSCon this weekend and next.

Yay! We can now send and receive both OMEMO versions! It only took, like, three days to exchange basic text messages via #xmpp, using an already developed library. On the other hand, we now have a really solid base for...the nine billion other things we need to do. At some point I'm going to want interop testing volunteers who use conversations and gajim, because those clients aren't #accessible so I can't make sure they work. But that'll probably be in a few months. Also, TIL I learned that there's really no good C# library to do #PGP. So I'm not.

@movim Movim, you actually are my XMPP-hero, the first #xmpp client I know of that implemented message reactions and SANE message replies, all while being more of a social network than chat-app focused

also the first one I have seen to have a nice modern-looking chat interface

is the mass market #xmpp client ready yet, son?

Question for the community. How's y'all's experience with various Instant Messaging services? I don't use discord except with some of my friends, and I'm trying to get away, as it seems to be going the way of enshittification.

I've used Matrix before, and I'm aware of some of the technical annoyances as a user. Does it tend to have good community (like, among gay nerdy Mastodon folks at least?). What about the other options, like XMPP clients, or like Delta Chat or something?

I believe I've even heard (i might be wrong) that IRC 3 allows for asynchronous texting, so you don't have to be online in order to keep receiving messages that you can read later? Is this a thing? Everytime I look this up, I can't find any good info one way or the other.

Even if there's no community, I'm curious what y'all think has the potential to become a somewhat ubiquitous technology among folks on Fedi? I wanna see more Instant Messaging online in these spaces.

#askFedi #texting #discord #xmpp #irc #matrix #element #instantMessaging #software

So because I have gone temporarily off my rocker, I'm working on an #xmpp client using #dotnet 10 and WPF, with artalk-xmpp for XMPP, libsignal for #OMEMO, and prism for screen reader output where needed. I'm only an evening into it, and I can already tell that OMEMO is going to be the source of complicated, inexplicable, and unreproducible bug reports for decades to come. It's still not as overcomplicated as #matrix, though.

Si Gajim et/ou XMPP vous intéresse, j'vous encourage pas mal à mettre un pouce bleu sur l'issue suivante.

Il s'agit de pouvoir pin un message.

Perso, ce serait un usage d'accessibilité, j'explique : j'ai beaucoup de mal avec les messageries instantanées. Notamment, si un message est marqué comme lu, j'ai pour le moment aucun système pour le marquer comme non lu et pouvoir le traiter quand j'ai l'espace mental (les emails sont infiniment mieux pour ça). Du coup, parfois je réponds pas a des convo parce que le sujet a changer, mais ouvrir la conversation va mettre en lu un message auquel j'ai besoin de pouvoir répondre plusse tard. Une bonne alternative serait de épingler (pin) ce genre de message a traiter plusse tard

C'est par ici : https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/issues/10957

#gajim #XMPP

There appears to be no way to clear chat history from an #XMPP server through the protocol itself. What the fuck? Why would anyone recommend such a privacy nightmare of a protocol?

Récemment, j'ai très envie de parler anticapitalisme avec d'autres personnes qui viennent potentiellement d’autres horizons.
Donc, j'ai lancé un salon anticapitaliste sur XMPP ​

@dmathieu

NodeInfo isn't part of #ActivityPub and neither is it required to be implemented by fedi software.

What #fediverse is and isn't is an interesting question. Does following between actors make the software on both ends part of the fediverse? Should a fediverse app support #microblogging? Be compatible with Mastodon?

Perhaps being part of fediverse means if 2 independent 3rd-parties are able to interoperate with each other? Does that require sending Follow msgs?

If someone has a federated Product catalogue that federates with itself and a 3rd-party Order delivery service, is it part of the fediverse? Even when no Follow is sent?

It is undefined what being part of the fediverse means. There used to be a Federated Network Association (Feneas) as a major dev community besides #SocialHub, which defined fediverse as any software that implemented AP, #XMPP, or #Matrix protocol.

@steve even wrote that nothing even truly implements AP, and I tend to agree.

https://www.stevebate.net/nothin-implements-activitypub/

So random question to all #Pidgin users. Which plugins are you using to improve your XMPP setup in Pidgin right now?

We're not going to make any promises, but we're throwing around the idea of possibly adding some of this to Pidgin 2 as a stop gap.

If you have other suggestions or plugins, please let us know!

It is one thing to convince your friends to use XMPP, it is another to have them easily be able to sign up their friends too.

https://txw.ca/mod-signup-keyword/

This is a mod for ejabberd which allows in-band registration with a fixed pre-shared key. It replaces the standard mod_register.

So your friends can pass this PSK to their trusted friends, and they can sign up for an account, and pass it to their trusted friends.

An XMPP Client needs to surface a UI element for the PSK to be entered, and returned to the ejabberd server. I’ve tested it with my hobby client, Mach.

I would love a native, screenreader #accessible, fast, #matrix app for Windows. I would also like not to create it, because Matrix is even more vast, complex, and incomprehensible than #XMPP and #IRC. Anyone? No? Didn't think so. Sigh.

We are attending #IETF126 in Vienna. The #XMPP community is represented at the Hackathon and we are hosting a side meeting on Thursday at 15:00 (Park Suite 4) to introduce the idea of bringing XMPP 2.0 back to the IETF.

I've just pushed the code to discover other Libervia instances on LAN. It's not yet possible to connect, but it's a step further in serverless implementation (see https://nlnet.nl/project/ServerlessXMPP/, thanks @nlnet !).

Next step will be actual connection, but this is a big one, with probably accompanying specs.

Vous êtes team jeux compétitifs et vous voulez un'e mate pour duoQ sur LoL ou Rocket League mais, toujours comme moi, vous n'avez pas d'ami'es ?

J'ai créé un salon XMPP. L'idée c'est de pouvoir ping "hey je duoQ LoL dans 10mn ADC Platine 4" ou de s'organiser "ça serait chouette une soirée jeux samedi soir à 21h pour du Among Us/Meccha Chameleon, qui est chaud'e ?".

Je ne sais pas bien combien de temps ça marchera mais j'aurais essayé ! Si vous n'avez pas de compte XMPP, je peux vous inviter sur mon serveur (tout n'est pas parfait, notamment avec la chaleur mais je vais améliorer tout ça dans l'année).

Meine Erfahrung zu #XMPP.

Es braucht etwas Zeit und Geduld. Das mit dem "versuchen mitzunehmen" habe ich eigentlich aufgegeben. Die Familie und einige meiner wichtigsten Communities haben XMPP. Alles andere läuft dann eben via Mail oder SMS.

Solange Medien und wichtige Menschen zentrale Lösungen empfehlen, sehe ich es auch als sehr schwer an. Einige meiner Kontakte sind auch nur bei XMPP, weil ich nichts anderes habe.

Ich habe 10+ Leute zu XMPP gebracht. Ist ok.

@michal I don't understand why people like delta chat so much. It seems a bit clumsy to me the frankenstein email for instant messaging. An if you host mail on gmail or outlook, than what is the point. I'd rather use #XMPP, a platform that makes sense

Someone made a normal-person-friendly guide to one of the most private messaging services available on the internet!

Happy to announce the release of slixmpp, the python XMPP library in its 1.17.0 version.

Recomendar XMPP a un usuario normal en lugar de Signal puede resultar contraproducente. Tanto Gajim en escritorio como Monocles en el móvil me han dado problemas de sincronización y ahora Monocles lleva semanas (o quizás meses) con un problema de negociación TLS en el login.

Signal nunca ha dado problemas. Estuve utilizando una temporada Molly como alternativa a la app oficial y se corrompió la base de datos perdiéndome la mayoría de mensaje. Volví a la app oficial después de ello.

The first day of #PravConf2026 has concluded—and what a power-packed day it was! The conference was held at the St. Thomas Institute of Science and Technology (#STIST) in #Thiruvananthapuram (in #Kerala, #India). We also saw a large number of students coming in from neighbouring colleges, even braving a sudden burst of rain.

This time, we managed to give out goodie bags thanks to our sponsors @mostlyharmless, @guusdk, and @fossunited. And, of course, thanks to @athulvis and @libreinator for getting the merch printed, @badrihippo for the design, and other volunteers (including @praveen and @untrusem, pictured) for putting them together on the day before the conference.

@praveen @athulvis @mostlyharmless @guusdk @fossunited @libreinator @untrusem When our first members arrived, the auditorium was empty...but not for long. By the time we figured out how to turn on the projector, the room was filled with curious faces waiting for us to begin.

@ravi and @badrihippo emphasised the importance of Prav, sharing their personal stories and prompting the audience to do the same. We also had an interesting discussion about why we chose #XMPP as our protocol instead of #matrix

This was followed by Anuvind from @sflcin introducing #RightsLine, a front desk for netizens to get legal help in case of harassment, unfair removal of content, fraud, or any other digital troubles. During question time, we also had a brief discussion about #UPI, the centralised payments system in India that is being marketed as an “open” solution

@praveen @athulvis @mostlyharmless @guusdk @fossunited @ravi @libreinator @sflcin @untrusem The next talk was delivered by @badrihippo, in collaboration with @double_a_runi who was unfortunately unable to attend the conference. While other talks spoke about thing that had happened in the past, this talk focused more on the future. It highlighted the many #UX papercuts faced by #XMPP clients today, and raised an interesting idea: what if we make a “shiny” #XMPP client by hooking up the well-polished UX of #Telegram to an existing XMPP client library?

Interestingly, this is already being attempted by #Convo for the #KaiOS operating system. Can the same be done for larger devices too?

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.

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?

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.

Nicht alle Menschen verwenden Whatsapp / Signal / Threema ; einige von uns habe nicht einmal "so ein" Smartphone.

Findet die Kommunikation in Vereinen, Kindergarten, Schule ausschließlich über "solche " Apps statt, werde diese Personen von der Kommunikation ausgeschlossen.

Ferner, machen wir es allen, die gerne Wechsel oder davon weg wollen, immer schwerer. Somit auch die wichtigen Schritte für Freie Software und dezentrale Systeme.
