Introducing Alacrity to Federated Cryptography



To celebrate Conversations being back on the Play Store and to deny Google their 15% cut I made the app free for the next ~48 hours. 😜

If you are new here: Check out #XMPP. It's federated, provider and vendor independent instant messaging. It’s great!

Or get it from #fdroid - That version even has address book integration and public channel discovery! 😂


Embrace, extend and extinguish. That's was the strategy behind Google's adoption of the open protocol #XMPP, which eventually died from it. And it will be the strategy when Facebook attempts to extinguish the #fediverse via #threads https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish For at longer story and analysis, read here: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html


A month using #XMPP (using @snikket_im) for every call and chat.

An experiment for my wife and me, and, so far, it has worked *really* well.

I get that when you're working on stuff and not getting paid for it, it can make sense to seek the platforms with the lowest friction and barriers to entry, but between IRC, #Matrix (and by extension, Gitter), and #XMPP, there are plenty of options that don't include vendor lock-in.


Every time a corporate platform dies, the standards-based, federated world will get a little bit stronger. Someday the network effect will kick in and federated will be the default - again. Email managed to get there early, #XMPP nearly achieved it too (and still can, if we finally stop using walled-garden messengers like WhatsApp or Signal). Let's make interoperability a hard requirement.

Wondering if you can run @matrix and @xmpp on the same domain (same subdomain) - same hosting, or not - connected with a bridge bot, connecting your personal user on both.

Do you use XMPP for messaging / calls / video?

(In the sense of a user-facing #XMPP service, rather than XMPP behind the scenes.)

Can haz moar #XMPP and XMPP Extensions‽
#xmpp


A discussion about distributed federated systems else-network did bring up some concerning history that we should keep in mind:

#XMPP was, briefly, the dominant messaging system on the Internet. It was fully federated allowing hosting anywhere. Major extensions were being done by major companies (Apple adding voice and video for example). And it all fell apart because the three big providers (Apple, Google, Facebook) ditched it to have more control.

@Jakob :friendica:
I don't understand german so I have no idea what you have said so far - but I am 100% adding my +1 vote to adding/enabling #XMPP #chat into #Friendica.
Even if it is as simple as adding some javascript, ie: #ConverseJS


Gajim 1.5.3 has been released 🚀

This release brings back a feature many of you missed: selecting and copying multiple messages. Emoji shortcodes have been improved and cover even more emojis now. Gajim also lets you mark workspaces as read, so you don’t have to go through all conversations. Thank you for all your contributions!

Letztlich hat Matrix 2014 föderierten Chat erfunden und XMPP das dann 1999 nachgemacht

Was ist denn der aktuelle Stand, wenn man auf einem #iPhone einen #XMPP Client installieren möchte? Was nimmt man denn aktuell her, wenn es funktionieren soll?

Die Schule meines Sohnes möchte im Französischunterricht für 1 Jahr ein Briefwechselprojekt via E-Mail mit der franz. Partnerschule durchführen.
Leider hat niemand daran gedacht, dass dies nur verschlüsselt möglich wäre.
Hat jemand Tipps / Erfahrungen mit sehr niederschwelligen verschlüsselten Kommunikations-Möglichkeiten? Danke


Want to join a #matrix channel, but prefer to stay comfortable within your #xmpp account? Turns out matrix.org runs a XMPP gateway - so you can just join a MUC using the `#channelname#homeserver.tld@matrix.org` JID!

I never liked #Telegram in first place.

Shady homebrew crypto that once got broken, crowning themselves as "savior of #privacy" when nobody can verify the whole stack, and now this: #ads in chats.

https://telegram.dog/durov/142

Use #XMPP with proper #e2ee (like #OMEMO) or nothing at all. You can't have a realistic expectation of privacy otherwise.

please stop describing #XMPP as "completely siloed": XMPP is federated and provides "transports" which are just like matrix bridges.

You make a point but please can't you cite any of the hundreds of walled garden messengers? Facebook messenger, Skype, Whatsapp, Slack... please!

Vous recherchez une messagerie instantanée, à deux ou en groupe, avec des appels audio et vidéo à deux, qui respecte vraiment votre vie privée, est #libre, loyale et éthique ? Ne cherchez pas plus loin : le groupe de travail #Chapril de l'April vous propose un service #XMPP libre et gratuit compatible avec les applications gérant les appels audio et vidéo (telles que #Conversations, #Blabber, #Movim, #Conv6ations sous Android, ou #siskin sous iOS) et bien d'autres.

the thing i don't like about Matrix is that it's positioned as a monolithic, centrally controlled protocol. XMPP wasn't just federated & interoperable at the protocol level; it's governance & ability to innovate was decentralized too. #xmpp was a base everyone could keep building forward with.
#xmpp


Whenever I get into this "run crappy proprietary messenger via some weird shims and tricks on #PinePhone"-thing I eventually end up thinking: Why can't everybody just use #XMPP or #Matrix?


!Friendica Support Tried to setup #xmpp but ran into trouble. Should it work as expected? I am getting SSL cert errors on both pirati.ca and squeet.me @Michael Vogel

Am I handling the setup wrong or is that a known issue? General problem or limited to those two instances?
