social.dk-libre.fr is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
@ploum @davidrevoy On XMPP all the content published by a user are hosted on its XMPP account, the "platforms" are just a view of those contents. See our related blog post about it https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim/the-difference-between-xmpp-and-activitypub-explained-through-the-blog-feature-Hdx4FR
Moreover each specific content are published on different Pubsub Nodes, it means that you have a specific node for your articles, another for your Stories,...
This way the contents are categorized and each platform can choose to get and display the publications they want based on the features they are implementing ☺️
I’ll be doing a short talk on #XMPP and metadata at the CDC triangle (right next to the XMPP assembly) tonight at 22:00 https://39c3.c3nav.de/l/cdc-triangle/
#XMPP Community
Find XMPP assembly at #39C3 in the space is inside the Critical #Decentralization Cluster #habitat.
Yes, there are stickers 📌

@jwildeboer Same with Signal. I can't write anything remotely viral on #XMPP without some self proclaimed security expert stepping up to explain to me how much better Signal is.
I'm afraid that's just how the Fediverse works.
And since you seem to be advocating primarily for Signal you get to experience the XMPP fan boys and I get to enjoy the 'security experts'.
@jwildeboer
Just a serious, genuine question: with the fragmentation of #InstantMessenger alternatives what program do you suggest? #xmpp, #deltachat, #simplex, #Matrix #jami #Briar
There are more options:
https://mov.im/blog/debacle/76bf90a4-5f59-4962-92db-6cd859f42ec9
I'll stick with #Jabber/#XMPP, because I'm used to it and there are bridges to IRC, Matrix, SMS.
Dear friends,
Wishing you all Merry Christmas and hopefully, happy holidays. Hope you get time to unwind, relax and spend time with your loved ones.
Our Hetzner server's bill, hosting Diasp.in, Durare.org and Poddery.com XMPP services for October and November 2025 is - €8.94 (~ ₹949). These are public services, maintained by volunteers and sustained on donations by people like you. Please help us by either sponsoring this expense or a part of it.

La prochaine version stable de Monocles devrait donc être 100 % disponible en français ^^
Ich habe den Eindruck, dass Matrix weitaus problemloser läuft als XMPP.
Bei XMPP kann sich nicht jeder Client an jedem Server anmelden (ich habe diverse Clients und Server, nicht nur meinen eigenen mit ejabberd, getestet). Und auch die Kommunikation zwischen zwei Accounts funktioniert manchmal gar nicht, manchmal nur in eine Richtung und irgendwie nur selten problemlos. Auch da wieder stark abhängig vom Client.
Ein Problem mit meinem Server mag sein, dass er unter einer Subdomain (xmpp.example.com) läuft. Ich mutmaße, dass nicht jeder Server bzw. Client damit zurechtkommt. Zwischen meinem Server und dem von Mailbox.org klappt jedenfalls gar nichts. Aber ich habe noch nicht einmal eine Möglichkeit gefunden, für Mailbox.org einen andeten Client als deren Web-Client zu verwenden. Ich glaube fast, die sind nur zu sich selbst kompatibel.
Manche sagen freilich auch, dass ejabberd recht eigenwillig sei.
Mit Matrix hingegen hatte ich bisher keine Probleme (auch da habe ich einen eigenen Server am Start).
Automatically finding other #prav users is a core feature of @prav but in the last update this functionality was broken. We missed this during testing of the update.
I just added 2000 rupees to the bounty - we will give the money raised to anyone who fixes the issues.
Would you consider increasing the bounty? Small amounts are ok too.
Ich habe mich damit abgefunden, daß ich kaum Einfluss auf mein Gegenüber habe, sondern nur für mich entscheiden kann.
Ich bin per #Jabber, Email, Festnetztelefon, Postkarte und persönlichem Besuch erreichbar, also im Prinzip alles ohne Bigtech möglich. Signal wäre mir schon zu viel Bigtech.
Aber ob die Leute z.B. alles von einem mitlesenden Bigtech-LLM korrekturlesen lassen oder #XMPP bei Azure hosten will ich gar nicht wissen. Da endet meine Verantwortung 🤷
🇬🇧 XMPP/AP Bridge NEW RELEASE

Monal 6.4.15 (Build 1067, PR #1521) released.
To see the complete list of bugfixes and improvements, check our releases page: https://github.com/monal-im/Monal/releases/tag/Build_iOS_1067
Porém, se a retomada da comunicação interpessoal for o caminho, o negócio pode ser implantar um servidor
como ejabberd. É algo que está na minha fila para tentar libertar a universidade daquilo que citou no fim. Ainda estou estudando, mas, um passo que considero importante posteriormente será tentar fazer alguma redundância física entre instituições, então seria bem legal termos essa possibilidade em mente.
boostedIt's not me: it's you!
No, I'm not giving you my phone number nor my email. Your mobile is chock full of apps that harvest every bit of personal data they find in it and keep them to themselves to do who knows what, sell it to the best bidder and even do things I can't imagine. You may not care about your #privacy but I do care about mine. So, you are not getting my phone number even if you want to have my contact on #Signal.
Want to stay in touch? I can give you my #XMPP address though.
"Sharing is caring" said #Whatsapp .. then took all the details from every contact in your contacts list and left ... never to be seen again ... or give you anything in return ...
Le retoot permet de répondre aux questions
So, I have a long-term vision. I want to marry my mobilizon instance (AP) with XMPP.
Each account should also be an XMPP account under the same domain. For this authentication needs to be changed to the style the Fediverse does it. Plus support for 2FA. (XEPs might exist but clients don’t support it that way - maybe oAuth, not widely supported either).
1/2
@kris Thank you for mentioning #Prose, it looks pretty cool!
Although I notice a 20-user limit on the community edition?
Honestly this sounds a bit like the #Mattermost nonsense. I'd expect "as many users as your server/hardware can take", instead?
I wonder how far a vanilla #Prosody installation would take me in terms of UX and team workflow... that would seem like the safest, zero vendor-locking option.
@duncan_bayne Same mix of surprise and frustration here! I've been unhappy about #Mattermost's behaviour on mobile for a while (extremely slow, no matter how I tweaked the server config) so I guess this is just the final straw for me.
My ideal solution would be #XMPP-based - I know how to set up a server pretty easily already - but I'm not sure whether typical XMPP clients would support similar workflows/UIs as Mattermost/Slack/..., i.e. typical team collaboration workflows. I'll see...
@pixelschubsi to be honest even if starting today, I think I would still prefer #email over #xmpp, I don't regret one bit the choice they made, at least so far it is doing its job pretty well, #DeltaChat had proper quote-replies even before threading got introduced to #xmpp because it existed in email since forever, there was an RFC for reactions over email as well long ago, email was made for slow networks even before the web, delta chat is being used even over radio in the Amazon rainforest
@lazarus @daniel #XMPP is still a thriving ecosystem with lots of good FOSS developers doing interesting things.
XMPP is also used under the hood in tons of products needing instant messaging even if they are not advertised as XMPP clients, or do not federate.
Anyway, XMPP and #matrix all share a strong focus on protocols, but there is a big difference: https://chatmail.at does not expose protocols to client developers, just a Rust SDK.
@daniel The big plus of #DeltaChat is that the infrastructure is already there. Infrastructure is a big part of the problem. And obviously using mail for that is only for people born before 2000.
Second is branding: When people hear #XMPP they hear 20 years of failure of implementing robust solutions both server-side and client-side. People just don't know that after 20 years there now are server and client solutions really working.
#diaspora service at poddery.com will be shut down after we ran it for 12 years. Joe Bivins ran it before we took over maintenance in 2013. It was one of the earliest diaspora pods.
https://codema.in/d/Cg3RqOWk/shutting-down-poddery-s-diaspora-service-on-15th-jan-2026
Both #xmpp and #matrix services, which shared the diaspora accounts will continue operating for now.
Thanks to everyone who helped maintain it till now. Even though diaspora failed to get the adoption we hoped for, #mastodon is continuing the fight for #federated social media.
RE: https://gultsch.social/@daniel/115751087451745641
1. Rivaling clients to Whatsapp.
2. Incredible simplification, people don't want, cannot afford to learn what OMEMO is, "this message has been encoded for another device" is a humongous UX failure.
3. Consistency among clients.
4. Consistent "send voice message" button, consisten "send short video" button, consistent "send live location" button. Go to reason 1.
5. Less FOSS now, paid later projects. Why are most free on F-droid and paid-for in Google Playstore?
6. An iOS client that doesn't look as ugly as Shrek doing yoga.
7. Clip button should only be for attachments, not for everything (Conversations)
Debacle boostedAs a community, we often ask ourselves how to attract more users to #XMPP. Yet the real tragedy is that people would rather build something entirely new (loosely based on email or #ActivityPub) than consider XMPP. Need end-to-end encryption by default? If compatibility with existing XMPP clients is a secondary concern, you can implement it in your own solution while still benefiting from our two decades of experience in instant messaging.
8. Stick to a name either Jabber or XMPP, not both. It's confusing.
9. Make people aware of how many things are Jabber in disguise (Whatsapp, Grindr, Google Hangouts, etc) with a corporation behind monetising it using the people as the product.
10. Incentives for running servers. In Mastondon we're really good at justifying donating to our admins when they run a decent service.
11. RFCs or XEPs written as easy to read an implement as NIPs.
12. Attached directories. XMPP is directoryless same as email, what about searching people by their Mastodon handle, by their email handle, use WebFinger.
Right now IMHO the client that needs desperately the most investment in time and COMMUNITY engineering effort is Conversations.im .
Monocles for example, need someone to implement OMEMO to WebXDC which is the uniquely interesting feature of DeltaChat. Pixelsocial is incredible for in-group private rolls (could literally take the power away from neighbourhood/thematic facebook groups).
Give her a hand! https://codeberg.org/monocles/monocles_chat/issues/353
I'd be happy as fuck to help any of this projects if they were using Kotlin Multiplatform or the RFCs of XMPP were as understandable as NIPs, but they arent
My partner (du-jour) struggles to configure Conversations because there's no Spanish translations of it. He can't disable its nofications on his watch because of this.
And I would be happy using Monocles if WebXDC worked without cumbersome steps in between (read the issue before this toot). I can follow those steps with @surfhosting because we're tech saavy, but most of humanity isn't. Hence they need Whatsapp simplicity.
UX rule number 1 = if users need a manual you've failed. This is pretty much the reason Apple refries tech better. They are a UX-centred company. It's also why it bores power-users.
I have a lot of respect for #DeltaChat (@delta); By all accounts they provide a good looking client and a homogenize experience across platforms. Users absolutely don’t need to care about the underlying protocol!
However there is no way, shape or form in that IMAP+Submission is a more suitable stack for instant messaging than #XMPP.
I consider this a failure on our part but I don’t really know what to do about it. Most arguments against #XMPP don’t hold if you’re building from scratch anyway:
• #Conversations_im looks very outdated: OK, but you are developing your own clients anyway.
• XMPP doesn’t have an SDK: Neither does your #ActivityPub or email stack
• OMEMO is insecure and I would prefer #MLS: Yes, let’s work on that together and you’ll still benefit from XMPP’s 100+ solved IM problems.
As a community, we often ask ourselves how to attract more users to #XMPP. Yet the real tragedy is that people would rather build something entirely new (loosely based on email or #ActivityPub) than consider XMPP. Need end-to-end encryption by default? If compatibility with existing XMPP clients is a secondary concern, you can implement it in your own solution while still benefiting from our two decades of experience in instant messaging.
@bonfire @swf @sovtechfund @benpate Ooof, just another instant messenger..?
We've already had XMPP since the 90s... and since then it's become pretty reliable.
i hope there'll at least be interoperability. I'm so tired of new ways to communicate that are not interoperable with what's already there.
Friendica bringt den XMPP Chat Client wieder zurück 🤩.
Nach dem ich mir heute Morgen das tägliche Update angesehen habe, konnte ich feststellen, dass der #XMPP Chat Client :
: in #Friendica wieder vorhanden ist. Den habe ich natürlich gleich aktiviert und geschaut, mit welchen Einstellungen er zum Laufen gebracht wird.
Noch ist das Addon nicht perfekt. Es ist aber gut zu wissen, dass wieder daran gearbeitet wird und der Dienst perspektivisch wieder direkt verfügbar ist.
Was für eine tolle Überraschung am frühen Donnerstag Morgen 💥
Location: Bad Honnef, Grafenwerther Brücke
Für sicheres #Messaging sollte man für seinen #Server bezahlen. Nur so vermeidet man langfristig, dass mit Daten Geld verdient werden muss.

I used to have a page on my website espousing the virtues of #xmpp over the various services of the day. I archived it back in 2013 when I converted my site from PHP to a static generator.
I recently re-read that page and found while the names have changed, the concepts are still very much relevant.
Some of you might have experienced difficulties to open Movim as a Progressive Web App on your Android device 🤖
There is a know issue on Chrome related to that https://issues.chromium.org/issues/466790291 , lets hope its being fixed soon 😬
A workaround has been pushed to master, please clear your application cache to deploy it ☺️
@machocam there are several public relays that offer painless onboarding without needing manual registration in DC, for sniket you need to self-host or find someone that invite you to their server
also, recently #DeltaChat and #ArcaneChat made a game-changing release that bring them to a totally different league than #Matrix and #XMPP, now you can have several addresses/servers per profile, and seamlessly migrate from one to another keeping your chats and contacts, peak resilience
XMPP is better on most technical regards, but you need a little skills to use it securely, in particular to understand keys trust. But it's way cheaper to self-host, creating a more distributed network.
Matrix's clients offer a more mainstream #ux, that is why it's relatively easy to onboard non-nerds.

Si tu en a déjà entendu parler mais jamais essayé :
- Qu'est-ce que tu as entendu à propos de XMPP ?
- Est-ce que ça t'as donné envie d'essayer ou non ?
- Qu'est-ce qui te fait penser que ça serait fait pour toi ou au contraire pas du tout ?
Si tu as déjà essayé :
- Quelle a été ton expérience ?
- En quelle année était ton dernier essai ?
- Tu as testé quels clients ?
J'y donnerai une conférence de 1h à propos de XMPP, dont voici le titre et la description :
« XMPP ou comment ne pas réinventer la roue : Messagerie fédérée et sécurisée en 2026 »
-----
« Oh non ! La messagerie instantanée que j'utilise vient de se faire racheter par un Venture Capital… C'est la 3eme en 5 ans ! »
Et si au lieu de sauter de produit en produit tous les 2 ans, on utilisait plutôt un protocole fiable, standardisé, qui fonctionne depuis 25 ans et qui fonctionnera encore pendant les 25 prochains sans pouvoir se faire racheter ?
Cette conférence a pour but de présenter XMPP et plus particulièrement ses évolutions ces 5 dernières années : Clients modernes, chiffrement de bout en bout, salons de discussion mais aussi les collectifs et communautés qui le font exister. Venez découvrir la messagerie instantanée que vous n'aurez pas besoin de quitter d'ici 5 ans !
-----
D'ailleurs, si vous connaissez ou avez entendu parler de XMPP, je vous invite à lire le post juste sous celui-ci ↓
And here is a more permanent and linkable announcement :
durare. org is now listed in #XMPP providers website!
https://providers.xmpp.net/provider/durare.org/
We are currently in class B since creating accounts is a manual process to prevent spam sign up.
My wishlist is adding email verification to automate sign ups.
Thanks to the entire team behind #Durare
This public service is supported by your donations and maintained by volunteers with love! Consider donating today https://durare.org/#donate
If I wanted to get an account on a #XMPP server that I do not want to host myself, what is the current ecosystem looking like there resp. which server(s) would the fediverse recommend?
(This isn't about self-hosting. Please don't tell me to self-host. No, not even to convince me how easy and uncomplicated it is)
Ok,
cedo alla pressione sociale e annuncio che ho un account #xmpp
luca.sironi@cazzinostri.kenobit.it
cominciamo con le domande stupide #xmpp
Da quello che ho capito la cifratura OMEMO e' peer to pirla tra device.
Quindi se sono collegato contemporaneamente sul pc con Gajim e sul cellulare con Conversations, uno che mi manda un messaggio me lo manda visibile solo su uno dei due client
"Questo messaggio è stato cifrato con OMEMO, ma non per il tuo dispositivo."
quindi devo scollegarmi tutte le volte, giusto ?
Pero' le conversazioni risulteranno spezzettate tra device
Now is as good a time as any, so I am happy to announce that we have an #XMPP assembly at #39C3, as part of the Critical Decentralization Cluster habitat (https://decentral.community/39C3/). All creatures interested in federated messaging welcome!
EDIT: Solved, Dino does exactly what I need and nothing more...if only I can find how to disable the stupid bell sound.
Can somoene recommend me a DECENTLY looking XMPP client for Nixos/Linux that's not Gajim (that's the one I'm using currently)?
I just want to try a different one.
OMEMO compatibility is a MUST-have.
We need to convince other people to use XMPP.
The no encryption is no longer an issue, most clients implement OMEMO.
There's no reason to leave your love ones and acquaintances under the influence of Mark Zuckerberg or any other centralised instant-messaging platform that lives on rage, POLARISATION and division.
Not in 2025. The platform is now mature. Servers are easy to run, encryption works, there are multiple clients for every platform.
Once you teach them how to use them, block them on Whatsapp so they have to reach you through XMPP.

Hey! Movim just introduced chat shortcuts in the navigation bar 👌
When you are mentioned in a chatroom or when a contact sends you a message Movim now displays a direct shortcut to the latest conversations allowing you to go to the related discussion in one click! How convenient! 😸
You can already try it out on https://mov.im/ or wait for the next stable release ✨
I use Font Awesome icons on my presentation cover slides to link to my website and email. It would be great if we could also use them for Jabber/XMPP addresses!
#XMPP is currently the second most requested icon on Font Awesome, and it’s close to reaching the top spot. You can support the request here:
https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome/discussions/21069
If a friend bought the #39C3 ticket for you and sent the .pkpass file via #XMPP, those files are now properly identified in #Conversations_im and display with a nice icon instead of a generic unknown file icon.
Today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent is all about XMPP.
Snikket (https://snikket.org/) is an easy-to-install, and easy-to-administer, XMPP server. It is designed for families and other small groups. The apps for Android and iOS (based on Conversations, I think) are great.
Dino (https://dino.im/) is my desktop XMPP client of choice.
Profanity (https://profanity-im.github.io/) is a terminal / console XMPP client, which is incredibly convenient.
Why not have a fun festive project of setting up an XMPP-based chat server for you and your family and friends?
There is currently a poll to include the #XMPP logo in #FontAwesome.
Give us your 👍

@fuchsiii @kolev or we all start using real #E2EE exclusively and give #cyberfascists the finger when using #XMPP+#OMEMO over @torproject / #Tor…
@kkarhan @fuchsiii @kolev @torproject
Partially related question I have always wanted to rise - how independent is #Tor from the problems in the US politics.
Another thing - are #xmpp servers able to do server2server via #Tor? I mean, really servers isolated from the clearnet - otherwise it makes no sense, the EU regulations do not target user nor protocol, they catch the server owner - the most accessible part of the story for them. Indeed, we can select a server in another jurisdiction, but will be there any one which matches any minimal standards of privacy respect?
Despite being a long-term user and admirer of #jabber - I am afraid we would need to consider to exclude servers at all an try the things like #Jami.
At least, let's celebrate diversity.
XMPP server running in you bet https://xmpp.maikeladas.es/
Works fine, configured through a single nix file I import into my configuration.nix (no flakes as usual) and I'm using it already to chat to @surfhosting
The server is ProsodyIM and OMEMO encryption is server agnostic.

I have never said that everyone should care about computers. Having some knowledge about matters that affect everybody is a prerequisite of a functional democracy though.
TBH I don't understand your aggressiveness here, I would be super happy if everyone moved away from WhatsApp and used delta chat. I prefer #XMPP but the nice thing about open protocols is that it's easy to make gateways between them. I know literally zero person that use deltachat though ATM.
LOOK EVERYBODY,

Oh, this is so f***ing gold. This post is a juice concentrate of the many reasons why Matrix sucks:
https://yaky.dev/2025-11-30-self-hosting-matrix/
Among others:
Users cannot be deleted
This is simply not an option in the API. Server admin can perform a "deactivate" (disable login) and "erase" (remove related data, which claims to be GDPR-compliant) on user accounts, but the accounts themselves stay on the server forever.
LOL.
Here is my take on why you should trash Matrix and use XMPP, or ta least Signal instead:
https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025
#im #matrix #jabber #xmpp #signal #privacy #security #enshittification #cypherpunk
@dnkrupinski @prav since Prav is part of the #XMPP network, people who don't want to provide a phone number can choose any XMPP app/service to talk to #Prav users. In that sense, phone number is optional. It makes a few things easier for people who are ok to use phone number like in other mainstream messengers. But unlike those other mainstream options like WhatsApp, Telegram or Signal, we don't lock people to Prav. For example, you can use Monocles Chat and talk to Prav users.
After we released an updated version of @prav Android app, we noticed the contact discovery was broken.
Since this is a core functionality of Prav, we want to fix it. To motivate someone to fix this, we have setup a bounty.
https://opencollective.com/contact-discovery-regression
Please donate so we can get this fixed sooner. Contact us if you'd like to help in fixing this issue. #Prav #FreeSoftware #XMPP #android #java
Non-authoritative (I am nobody) comments:
- Replace `<x-poll>` with a XEP-0004 data form, no need to reinvent the wheel.
- Replace the custom IQ flow by a XEP-0050 adhoc command flow, some clients have generic UI for that (eg @gajim or @cheogram).
- (maybe) use XEP-0428 fallback indication for supporting clients to strip the body.
More work! Incompatible with you not having time, I know. :o)
Thanks for your work on that @John_Livingston ♥
Ayant relancé mon serveur #XMPP, j'hésite entre deux postures :
- en refaire la promotion.
- ou me dire que c'est pas la peine d'augmenter les contacts et les sources de distraction.
I like that I can add my PGP key, my timezone (!), arbitrary notes, gender AND pronous, emailaddress, URL, a whole lot more things, to my profile if I want to (but don't have to).
#XMPP truly gives us a lot of possibilities and it feels like it actually improves life through the small things.
If we look at what #Mastodon did to #ActivityPub, we start to realize that #XMPP not having a client and server from a single vendor that is available on all platforms is indeed a strength, not a weakness.
The XMPP Community is very excited to announce the #Realtime Lounge at the coming FOSDEM 2026! Once again, many members will happily #welcome you!

Following the 0.32 version yesterday a small 0.32.1 release was pushed this morning 🫣
It fixes an annoying issue when Movim is handling published articles contents. In some cases the Markdown version was not parsed correctly preventing the article to be edited afterward.
Movim 0.32, codename Wilk is out ✨
This might be one of the biggest release ever made on the project.
We improved the way to follow, publish, upload share and comment content 🗒️but also redesigned the chat layout 🗨️, refactored the end-to-end-encryption code 🔒, improved our bridges integration 🌉, dropping dependencies 🧹 and improving video-conferencing performances 📹
Checkout the release note to have all the details of this exciting release 🤩

Looks like others have decided to return to #XMPP.
https://マリウス.com/giving-up-on-element-and-matrixorg/
I'm still using #Matrix, but I wasn't a great fan of the "copy everything to everywhere" protocol from the beginning. Right now it seems, it does not improve much anymore from an implementation/UX viewpoint. At same time XMPP apps (from a diverse ecosystem) give excellent performance, not promising more than they could deliver.
FYI There's these two #XMPP bridges on the delightful fediverse experience curated list..
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful-fediverse-experience/#xmpp-bridges
Hey, did you know that you can join Matrix chatrooms using Movim and #matridge (a Slidge XMPP - Matrix bridge) ? 😮
You can then access your Matrix rooms (and soon Matrix servers 😚) and integrate them seamlessly in your Movim interface ✨
…and it seems that Movim is much faster than Element at accessing and displaying the content of Matrix chat rooms 🚀 Fun 😸
Checkout the Slidge project https://slidge.im/ !
Movim is (finally!) having a members bar in its chatroom view ✨
This will allow you to know who is online in a glance... and set the bases of upcoming exciting features 🧢 !
Feature after feature Movim is becoming a serious alternative to centralized services such as Discord, Telegram or Slack ♥️
You can already try it out on https://mov.im/ 😸!
@brasil@lemmy.eco.br A partir de hoje, ABSOLUTAMENTE TODAS AS COMUNIDADES do #LemmyBrasil possuem uma sala de bate-papo no #xmpp

In the upcoming release you will be able to follow any blog on the XMPP network directly by clicking on the [Follow] button without being mutually friends (like it was until now), its a small change but with big impacts 😁!
We wrote a detailed and accessible article that explains the differences between the #XMPP network and the #Fediverse and shows how blogs are handled on the XMPP network a bit more in details 😸

Turns out, I overlooked a tiny little bit in the specification of XEP-0379, that adds another 2-3 days of work. 😫💩
If you want to help testing and try the new invite system, here's a bunch of invites:
https://dev.jwchat.org/invites/pgGvykFELMFSQ4WBzwflcmxt
https://dev.jwchat.org/invites/URSFrEHFCxrhCppr8Dk86Qdv
https://dev.jwchat.org/invites/uYdhtnh0hMv6zjWnCdawD77V
https://dev.jwchat.org/invites/IxqqWHFfhqNyQ20LkeqeuLbQ
https://dev.jwchat.org/invites/SHnOAh8ocv8zgmRvlbPLcWJI
You should be able to create new accounts using those. Once created, you should be able to create your own invites (if your client supports that, if there's no direct support there might still be support for ad-hoc commands via 'urn:xmpp:invite#create-account')
Day 2 of the Hackathon went great. Marvin (@larma) helped me implement an opt-in feature in #Conversations_im which routes all P2P sessions (calls and files transfers) via the users home server (similar to the feature found in Signal).
I went on a nice walk to a viewpoint on Mount Royal afterwards.
Now looking forward to Day 1 of #IETF124.
The first day of the Hackathon at #IETF124 in Montreal is coming to an end.
We implemented the relatively niche feature of XEP-0444: Message Reactions that allows channels or group chats to restrict the type and number of emoji reactions users can do.¹
This brings us a step closer to advancing and stabilizing the XEP. We didn’t want to do that before, since we aim to have complete implementations before requesting a Last Call.
¹: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0444.html#disco-restricted
@Aurin_the_classtraitor But this is not what I came to promote.
People forget about #XMPP. Yes, #jabber. TBH I haven't set one up lately (did manage one 20-25ya), but it's a single package with IIRC a single daemon instead of a horde of them, and maybe up to 3 config files. Requires no email, no phone number, and I think you can make it work with Let's Encrypt.
Edit: Maybe people with more recent experience can chip in here.

What's the state of XEP-0450: Automatic Trust Management (ATM)?
Are any client projects working on an implementation?
Updated jwchat.org’s ejabberd to 25.10 and applied my usual patches.
Created a PR for those, so maybe they’ll merge and I won’t have to do this in the future: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/pull/4475
Dutch healthcare is developing the NTA 7532 standard for secure chat. We believe XMPP is a natural foundation: open, secure, interoperable, and proven.
The XSF invites Dutch stakeholders to collaborate and explore how XMPP can power secure, future-proof healthcare communication.
https://xmpp.org/2025/10/towards-secure-and-interoperable-healthcare-chat/
#XMPP #DigitalHealth
Basically @Mer__edith is telling you to use #Matrix or #XMPP without telling you to use #Matrix or #XMPP. 😜
NTA 7532 is an opportunity to define secure, interoperable chat for Dutch healthcare.
XMPP already offers the proven, open, federated foundation needed for this.
The XSF invites healthcare, IT, and standards communities to collaborate and help shape NTA 7532 on XMPP - aligned with international best practice.
https://xmpp.org/2025/10/towards-secure-and-interoperable-healthcare-chat/
#XMPP #DigitalHealth #OpenStandards
#DeltaChat needs update:
DC has 500K+ downloads in google play
e2ee encryption should be "yes", default onboarding servers don't even allow to send/receive unencrypted nor can people disable encryption, while #Conversations has "yes" and the xmpp servers don't enforce encryption, groups are often unencrypted and it is easy to disable encryption
max. number of participants per group is 1000 (depending on server)
Hey, did you know that Movim allows you to link your #Discord, #Telegram, #WhatsApp and #Matrix accounts to your main XMPP one and chat with all your contacts in one integrated platform? 🤩
We are working hard with @nicoco to ensure a perfect integration with the Slidge gateways project https://slidge.im/ 🥸🤝🥸
Message synchronization, reactions, stickers, GIFs, chatrooms, invitations, file transfer... you can now find all those exciting features fully working across all your linked accounts in Movim ✨.
Now you can move to #XMPP while staying in contact with all your friends. 👌
Try it out on https://mov.im/ or by deploying your own instance 😸!
@nabor Praktisch alle anderen zentralisierten Messenger sind in diesem Bezug noch schlechter, da sie mehr Metadaten speichern und diese somit noch einfacher zugänglich sind. Einzige Ausnahme hier wäre eventuell Threema.
Dezentrale/föderierte Systeme (wie #XMPP und #Matrix) sind an dieser Stelle aber anders aufgestellt, da es keine zentrale Stelle gibt wo Daten anfallen, ist der Zugriff eingeschränkter. Zudem kann man die Jurisdiktion unter die man fällt frei wählen.
I just submitted talk proposals for @fosdem and @FOSSBackstage. It goes beyond my usual ramblings on what privacy #foss tools we must use and it covers the "how" to convince people to start using them.
If you have encouraged someone to switch to say Signal, or Sessions, or #XMPP or some other tool/protocol, please reach out to me via *direct message* I need as much success stories as possible. Anonymity is guaranteed if requested.
#TIL that #prosody, the lightweight super easy to install #XMPP server has a native #conversejs module. This is something I've got to test myself!
https://hg.prosody.im/prosody-modules/file/30adcea825c3/mod_conversejs
There's a reason I've been recommending folks reliant on #Signal to familiarise themselves with #jabber (or #xmpp if you like).
Signal relies on one of the companies they aim to protect us from: amazon. If amazon goes down, so to does Signal.
Is that bad? Yes. Yes it is. It is very bad. You just had the faintest hint of a whiff of what that means today.
Jabber, on the other hand, is a #SelfHostable decentralised service that has been in continuous use and development since the 90s.
With my jabber server (#Prosody) and my #android client (#Conversations), my friends and family and I do everything we can do on Signal - text, quote reply, search, send media and files, voice and video chat... and it's all #e2ee end-to-end-encrypted, running on hardware and software we have total control over.
Go explore the world of options with Jabber!
Today's AWS debacle is the perfect example of the reason why in the last few years I started to be less enthusiastic about Signal, and more oriented to federated or even P2P solutions like XMPP and Jami. I wrote about it already:
https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025
Signal was down for few hours today, after an outage that affected AWS:
https://mastodon.world/@Mer__edith/115405436746725236
Let's ignore for a second the blind reliance on AWS or any other cloud provider. In a decentralized system, this would not have happened, or at least it would have not impacted so many users.
Yes, I am a cryptographer myself, I know that Signal's encryption is the best. But encryption is not everything. Availability issues, geopolitical troubles, risk of enshittification, limitations on users' freedom to use and control the software lead to a lack of trust, even in a supersecure solution. And I say that with honest admiration for the folks at Signal, who are doing a great job.
May they prove me wrong over and over again.

@cos hi, for your information there is a #DeltaChat #matterbridge plugin, that means you can bridge Delta Chat rooms to #Matrix, #Telegram, #XMPP, #IRC, etc
https://github.com/deltachat-bot/matterdelta
there is also other alternative bridges, ex. search for Telegram here:
Alors qu'on a des protocoles fédérés (avec plein de serveurs indépendants qui se parlent entre eux comme Mastodon et le Fediverse), avec plein de serveurs, et des logiciels serveurs libres, avec des clients libres également et bien sûr du chiffrement de bout en bout.
Ça ne dépend pas d'une infrastructure et d'une organisation centralisée, parfois des bouts coupent mais globalement ça marche.
Deux suggestions: #XMPP (mon préféré, avec Dino et Conversations comme clients) et #Matrix
@TheDailyBurble, happy to help.
Another cool feature of #XMPP are "gateways" that make it relatively easy to connect with other IMs.
e.g.
#Libervia to #ActivityPub and #email (CC @Goffi )
https://nlnet.nl/project/Libervia
https://libervia.org
#Slidge to all sorts of other IM like #Matrix, #Mattermost, #Steam, #Discord, #Whatsapp, FB … (CC @nicoco )
Not everyone can or should self-host, but there is a lot of middle ground between self-hosting and putting everything on #AWS.
Federated protocols like #XMPP, #ActivityPub, and #SMTP give you choice.
Aujourd'hui c'est #JoinXMPP improvisé ! XMPP ? Un protocole de messagerie (comme signal, whatsapp, etc) mais fédéré (comme Mastodon) et chiffré de bout-en-bout évidemment (et ça survivra à #ChatControl parce que les clients sont libres).
Comme pour mastodon, il faudra choisir un serveur. Et comme pour mastodon on s'en fiche un peu, il sera toujours temps de changer plus tard).
Déjà sur #XMPP ? Répondez avec votre compte qu'on puisse toustes se parler. Le mien c'est oschwand@chadok.info.
@gharbeia I also recommend #DeltaChat instead of #matrix for private communications with friends and family, it is much more user-friendly and painless to configure (literally, just set a name and avatar) and has great multi-profile and multi-device support
but if you need it for public rooms, then you have to stick with matrix or #xmpp
I have released yesterday version 1.12.0 of the slixmpp python XMPP library. Mostly for python 3.14 compatibility, but there are a few other things as well! More info at https://blog.mathieui.net/slixmpp-1.12.html
If it's not #decentralized, #federated and #FLOSS it's not worthed. Like #Matrix or #XMPP, communications should not depend on a #SPOF in some #BigTech silo.
@leberschnitzel @_elena @delta yes delta, and you can selfhost chatmail. Some people use #xmpp like you can self host @snikket_im who try to have good ux.
C'est l'heure de faire de la propagande pour XMPP.
(Pas hébergé sur AWS, évidemment)
@LTDLGuidon personnellement, en mode bénévole.
Avant de me lancer, j'ai discuté de l'idée sur un salon #xmpp de l'asso #aLeC.
@roughnecks even if you remove server costs:
"Personnel costs are 19 million dollars per year"
besides, the point of my previous post was that all that millions would have gone better to some #xmpp effort or #DeltaChat
I don't get your bad vibes, I will not further reply to you, have a nice weekend
@roughnecks that is the point of my post, saying that millions would have gone better to some #xmpp effort or #DeltaChat I don't get your bad vibes, I will not further reply to you, have a nice weekend
@debacle it really depress me to see people donating and throwing millions of dollars to a centralized service (with a good chunk of that money going to Amazon, Google, Microsoft, etc. just to pay in expensive Signal servers infrastructure)
if only that money would have been invested into improving a mainstream multiplatform #XMPP client solution, or into #DeltaChat 😮💨 the world is so unfair, only the good die young 🥲
If you want to play a bit with the new invite system I'm working on: https://dev.jwchat.org/xmpp.html
You will need a client like Monal, Conversations or yaxim pre-installed for this to work.
Also, there shouldn't be an account pre-configured yet.
(You can create accounts there as you wish, the server should be mostly operable, but no guarantees. Data and service can and will disappear without notice at any given time)
Hey! Did you know that you can now find all the official @xmpp news on Movim 😮!
https://mov.im/community/news.xmpp.org/News
You can subscribe to their News feed using any XMPP account and by joining from any #Movim instance (a lot of them are listed on https://join.movim.eu/) ✨
Movim is building a complete social platform on top of XMPP. Any account that joins the platform can already create its own blog 😊
Movim Communities allows you to create spaces to publish with others around the topic you like 😸! This is what the XSF did with their own #XMPP News Community, hosted on their own server and accessible from anyone on the network.
100% standard and fully federated ❤️
You like sharing articles with your contacts?
The Send To feature is now allowing you to send your article to a group of contacts in one step ✨
A lot of exciting changes for the upcoming release 😸
Curious to try out Movim? You can login on our main instance and check it out https://mov.im/ 😊
I dream of a flip phone that can run postmarketOS and make calls over Wi-Fi and Jabber.
Why? Because flip phones aren't expected to be a place where you run "apps." If you say "I have a flip phone," your bank won't hassle you to get the app anymore.
postmarketOS does have some support for feature phones. It can run on the devices that come with KaiOS.
#Conversations_im is doing pretty extensive DNS caching. If you set the TTL of your DNS records relatively high (86400 seconds for example) Conversations can avoid some round trips during connect. Another round trip can be avoided if you prioritize the _xmpps-client SRV entry. This can significantly improve the performance in rough networking environments.
In good networks we can establish a full connection in under 500ms.
@oldsysops that's easy to fix. There are a lot of really active channels on #XMPP
You can use this to find them ..
https://search.jabber.network/search
You can even look them up by tag in here:
https://search.jabber.network/tags/
.. or by lang .. just write lang:fr or lang:de for example in the search box and press enter 👍
But at least,
it didn't ask me for diner...

Soirée #RLeC avec 100% d'augmentation de la fréquentation, nous nous retrouvons à 9 autour d'une table de La Générale - merci pour l'accueil. Ça devient compliqué pour suivre tous les sujets entre les sandwichs les breuvages et les histoires de chacun. Je note quand même 3 nouvelles personnes notamment désireuses d'installer du (GNU) #Linux !!
Comme quoi l'info des rencontres mensuelles de LeC se trouvent 😊 En plus je crois bien que les conversations vont/conti'uer sur #XMPP et/ou au #PSL 😇
@jackwilliambell I think you should look into #XMPP. Jabber/XMPP servers tend to be fairly generic. Using XMPP for social media is a bit niche but not without precedent. (See @movim and Libervia)
Yes, there is probably still work to do for what ever you want to do exactly. But at least there is a relatively solid base that you won't get when creating something entirely from scratch.
que legal, hein!
eu sou uma divulgadora do #xmpp , escrevo artigos, publico vídeos, evangelizo pessoas, enfim, xmpp é um tema presente no meu dia a dia.

@jackwilliambell You should have a look at #XMPP and some of its "social" XEPs (XMPP extensions).
For example XEP-0472: Pubsub Social Feed https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0472.html that is basically Atom + Pubsub ✨
It is extensively used by Movim, is massively scalable and super easy to implement (just take a XMPP lib and push some Atom in it).
Here is a super small Python code that is taking some RSS/Atom HTTP feeds and pushing them to XMPP https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub
And you can checkout everything about Movim on our blog (hosted on XMPP 😸): https://mov.im/community/pubsub.movim.eu/Movim
🫶
This is likely not what you seek in terms of simplicity, but I wanted to mention in the context of earlier discussion on #ActivityPub JSON-LD versus #RDF XML.
The #openEngiadina project for a long time pursued an ActivityPub-based implementation for its open local knowledge network, but found it too complex, esp. in the areas where the specs are immature and incomplete.
So the research project switched to #XMPP/RDF and had some good experiences.
Wait, did Movim just unlocked the global search feature in its chat messages? 😱
Thanks to the powerful tsvector/tsquery #PostgreSQL feature (feature not available on MariaDB sorry 😔) you can now search messages by keywords in your history and directly load the conversation from the past 🕰️ !
Just click on the search button or hit Ctrl + F to open the brand new search panel 🔍
The next version will be packed with plenty of awesome features for sure 🚀✨
FunFact: (Ok, die Clients können u.a. auch noch Matrix, IRC, SMS, usw.; Matrix
Ich habe auf dem Smartphone fünf XMPP-Clients (Conversations, Cheogram, Element X, Monocles, SchildiChat) und nutze nur einen - und auch den nur sehr sporadisch ... :'D
Once finished with Ejabberd Great Invitations I thought, I might port it to MongooseIM. Now I had a talk with the project lead and I wondered if there isn’t more to port. Like PubSub Serverinfo for instance. And then they said, they are not aware of any public installations. So now I wonder, is this true? Does anyone know of any MongooseIM out there in the wild federating with the Jabber network?
Uma galerinha entre colegas de TI da universidade tem criado contas ali 👏

EU Chat Control won't apply to the federated Jabber/XMPP ecosystem.
#Conversations_im is used by various militaries, police forces and intelligence agencies in Europe. They will make sure it won't get any client side scanning.
But Daniel, you might ask, won't the criminals just use Conversations then? Yes, they already do. And thank you for realizing why chat control is stupid.
boosted@daniel well, we appreciate Signal trying to make a difference with its public weight ahead of the oct14 chat control vote. Yes, Signal is centralized and running on gafam servers but it also was a key leading effort to make e2ee UX widely available ... and that is fundamentally threatened by #chatcontrol. Federated #xmpp or #email servers do not help against legislation that aims at apps and clients. This is a time to put all of our joint weight against chatcontrol, not gamble for exceptions.
We are not going to write open letters on how we are heroically going to withdraw from Europe. We will stay here continuing to operate as usual. We are infrastructure.
It's going well at Whatsapp it seems:

@contrapunctus For GNU/Linux or LibreOffice becoming user is easier and kind of an end in itself. But for #XMPP being a user is a start, you also need to be an activist to bring users and community organizer to build platforms. So choosing XMPP is inherently exponentially challenging than just using GNU/Linux. Peopld tends to choose easier options over challenging options, so that explains why many Free Software users don't use decentralized platforms. We have to understand the reasons too.
@sparfindig Übrigens droht Threema ebenso seinen Dienst nicht mehr in der EU anzubieten: https://threema.com/de/blog/chatkontrolle-stoppen
Am Ende wqerden wir wohl usnere Chat-Dienste wohl wieder selbst mit #XMPP, #Matrix zunehmend selbst betreiben müssen und evtl. andere wirklich dezentrale Dienste nutzen.
@karsbehr @threemaapp
There was one thing, that struck me in a peculiar way about #nerdearla being a #LatinAmerican #openSource and #nerd event:
The organizers use various channels for communication and publicity. But with the exception of #email, not one of them open, free, federated, or latin american. It's all via US #bigTech #socialNetworks (plus one from CN), no #fediverse, no #Mastodon, no #Jabber/#XMPP, no IRC, no Matrix. And even the email goes through mailgun, a US company 🤷
Really really happy with Proxmox! Just setting and migrating all of my services atm, report coming as soon as I'm done 😊 But yeah, seems like the most difficult choice right now is which messenger server to self host 😅
You want to try out Movim before deploying it? 👀 ..or just checking out the exciting features of the next release? ✨
You can now launch a fully working Movim container on your local machine in one unique command 😯
Just clone the Movim repo from Github and call `podman-compose up`, wait a little bit and Boom! you can try-out Movim in your browser 🤩
Checkout the (super-short) tutorial there https://github.com/movim/movim#quick-test 🎉
Movim + Podman = ❤️
With the announcement from #Whatsapp injecting ads into their proprietary app, we cannot stress enough how important it is to keep our communications secure and private using open standards like #XMPP .
Please tell your friends and relatives to join XMPP. There are many servers out there open for registrations. I can even consider opening my personal XMPP server to new users if that helps.
P.S. remember WhatsApp E2EE is flawed: https://xavi.privatedns.org/blog/whatsapp-encryption/
Testing GNU Taler at #Datenspuren was fun. And by fun I mean mostly unspectacular. It just worked. I scanned a QR code. I got some Kolle Mate.
I think some sort of GNU Taler integration into #Conversations_im would be pretty cool.
If you would like to integrate Taler into Conversations there are currently funding opportunities available¹ from @nlnet and both the Taler developer as well as myself are happy to help with scoping.
Life-saving tip when setting up #Prosody: enable the `mam` module!
This module caches "old" messages up to a time limit (default 1 week) so that clients that were not offline at the time can receive them once they reconnect. This way, you can synchronize your messages across all your devices without a hitch - never lose another message again!
Super easy, and makes your XMPP server as professional as any other messaging platform out there. I wonder why this isn't activated by default!

In other news, XMPP Spaces is making good progress. I hope within a reasonable amount of time we‘ll be able to provide a viable alternative, so people don’t have to end up like that.

Any designers on Fedi who wants to help @prav to make a poster like https://animalia-life.club/qa/pictures/we-want-you-poster-no-words ?
We want to put this on our table at #IndiaFOSS
More details here https://codeberg.org/prav/IssueTracker/issues/48
The idea is to challenge anyone visiting our table to do at least a single specific thing - as simple as installing prav or more complicated like implementing a feature or support monitorily. #xmpp #FreeSoftware #Privacy

@Goffi about your idea regarding 'blogging', I think you'd have to elaborate a bite more what exactly you have in mind
If you want to report bugs for the Renga #xmpp client, you can now log in to the bugtracker using your Jabber address. No need to create an account anymore!
If you want to see how it's done, see https://pulkomandy.tk/gerrit/plugins/gitiles/xmpp-fcgi-authorizer/
If you want to try it, go to https://pulkomandy.tk/projects/renga (and please do not create fake bug reports)
🚨 New blog post 🚨
slidge is not dead, it does not even smell funny. slidgnal (#xmpp/signal) gateway is back (very early stage).
boosted@Tutanota the most important part is to make such #Cyberfascism impossible to #enforce by going out of one's way to "#EncryptHarder"!
Use proper #E2EE with #SelfCustody of all the keys! (#XMPP+#OMEMO [ @gajim / #gajim & @monocles / #monoclesChat] & #PGO/MIME [ @delta / #deltaChat & @thunderbird / #Thunderbird ])
Normalize #Torification aka. shoving EVERYTHING through @torproject / #Tor with #TorBridges and #OnionServices
#Teach others by running a @cryptoparty@mastodon.earth / @cryptoparty@chaos.social / #CryptoParty in your area!
If we solely rely on #TechIlliiterates & #Cyberfascists like #Zensursula from @EUCommission to concede and apologize we might just give up already (pretty shure she has not apologized to @MOGiS to this day!)
I just bought 20 envelopes and stamps, and I'm packing them with 5x #Conversations_im, 5x #OMEMO, and 5x #XMPP each.
Send me an email if you want one. Put 'Stickers' in the subject so I can filter. While supplies last, obviously. (Though I'm more limited on the stamps than the stickers.)
#MatrixDown: So, is the main issue of #Matrix too many users using the main instance, a condition actively pushed by #Vector, creating half-centralized ecosystem?
Is it the issue that #Matrix servers are a overly complex and resource hungry systems, which are hard to administrate and even harder to troubleshoot? 🤔
Or is it a combination of these problems? Hmmm. 👀
@oldsysops@social.dk-libre.fr @lavergnetho@fediscience.org Yep, self hosted #XMPP with prosody (even it is not needed but audio video calls work if the client supports it).
I released version 1.11 of the slixmpp library yesterday evening, here are the details: https://blog.mathieui.net/slixmpp-1.11.html
Note that #Quicksy users won’t be able to opt out of TLS 1.3.
If you are sending files to Quicksy users (via HTTP Upload), make sure your HTTP server supports 1.3; otherwise Quicksy users won’t be able to receive the file.
Today I implemented xep-0070 authentication in my #xmpp client Renga. I could then confirm that my fastcgi authorizer... doesn't work. Not sure why, and I have to figure out the proper way to do logging so I can investigate.
Wonderful summary of @valhalla 's talk at #DebConf25 about #xmpp

It's a perfect summary of my own toughts about it as well! Waiting for the video ...

🇬🇧 Launch of the XMPP / Fediverse Bridge!
You've been waiting for it, here it is: from now on you'll be able to chat directly between Fediverse and XMPP instant messaging! All from your usual account and application, without changing a thing.
So how does it work? Very simply, two twin robot accounts will be responsible for passing your messages to the other world.
So from Mastodon: your contact is @xmpp_bridge, who you can follow to sign up, then send and receive messages from XMPP.
Each time you send a message, you do as you would for any private message: mention the robot account from Mastodon or send a private message from an application such as Pixelfed or Friendica, for example.
Address your XMPP recipient(s) in your message with the prefix xmpp: followed by their address (without spaces). You can reply directly to any message you receive.
You can also manage your block lists to prevent spam, and you can report any abuse to your administrator.
Not interested? Don't worry, you won't receive anything until you register.
Get started! Obviously, this is only of interest if you know XMPP contacts (and vice versa). But it's also an opportunity to try out and promote instant messaging.
Test it out and report any bugs or useful comments to me, so that I can improve the service.
I hope you enjoy this new service, which is fairly exclusive but open to everyone!
🔄 Please boost to spread the good word in the Universe.
