Happy Jabber Day 🎂 🥳

On January 4, 1999, Jabber was first announced to the public¹.

Twenty-seven years later, Jabber—or XMPP, as it became known after standardization through the #IETF—remains the only truly vendor-independent, federated instant messaging platform.

In almost three decades, XMPP has never stopped evolving and remains our best tool for digital independence.

💻🌍 Digital sovereignty might sound big — but it’s really about taking control of the tech that shapes our lives. It’s important for young people to learn that technology doesn’t have to be a black box — it’s something you can understand, explore, and even build yourself!

That’s why I love @fsfe’s "Youth Hacking 4 Freedom" — a coding competition for teens (14–18) across Europe. The next round kicks off on January 1, 2026 🚀

If you’re into coding, creativity, and shaping the digital future, this is your chance to shine!

I not only maintain a list of digital service providers that operate outside U.S. jurisdiction, but also a list of Fediverse sites that use non-U.S. domain extensions.

If these sites also use web hosting outside the United States, their websites could be fully outside U.S. legal reach — which is a smart move. 😉

You can see the list here:

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.
