The #XMPP instance I'm currently in is swirling fun today.

you want an open messaging platform? cool! we have:

* extremely old small protocol with an extension library more confusing than quantum physics, and clients that look like they came from the most horrible depth of early 2010s app development
* new protocol taking inspiration from the previous one, except it's horribly overengineered, which causes implementations that aren't the reference one to basically not exist, and the reference one to constantly break
* a discord clone developed by a bunch of teenagers as a side hobby with next to no planning or really any idea what do they even want from it
* a literal discord clone that has been pushed to indefinite rebranding and restructuring

@rom True. Like FB, they once connected FB Messenger to #XMPP only to disconnect a few years later just because they can't get what they want.

@fuat2mb @TMakarios @prosodyim
I use the app conversations with my family and do regular video calls with my parents, you'll need a server with external service discovery.
https://compliance.conversations.im/old/
The main server of conversations for example., or self host something like prosody or the fast and easy to setup #Snikket https://snikket.org #xmpp

#XSF Announcement

Recently there was an attack via so called #man_in_the_middle attack happened to an #XMPP #server.

To reduce the risk of such attacks in the future an early stage service called CertWatch has been published by our Community: https://certwatch.xmpp.net/

Many thanks to Stephen P. Weber (@singpolyma)!

A friend just sent me this. #xmpp #meme

Machine-in-the-middle Detection and Monitoring for #XMPP Servers

https://certwatch.xmpp.net/

This service allows you to check your XMPP server's #TLS setup, helps you publicly store the hash of the public key in a secure way, and then monitors your server to make sure that connections to it get the same public key that you have configured and sends notifications if anything changes (which may indicate a #mitm attack on your service).

@ada depends...

Why I should use #Matrix when #Zulip, #IRC and #XMPP+#OMEMO and #DeltaChat (#eMail + #PGP/MIME) exist is beyond me.

Whereas :activitypub: and it's implementations do make sense considering how :birdsite: :twitter: went :deadbird: ...

@Natanox @ada I mean it's the #InconvenientTruth.

Do you know why #Fax, #SMS, #eMail, #IRC & #XMPP still exist whilst #AIM, #ICQ & #Skype are basically dead?

It's because they are #openStandards that are #decentralized and have a working #MultiVendor / #MultiProvider #ecosystem around them.

Same reason why people still buy gasoline and diesel vehicles: Shit just works and scales...

@mina

#FOSS messenger #XMPP security breach...state-mandated?

https://mastodon.infra.de/@galaxis/111268163798726211

@anarchopunk_girl @fla @Mer__edith @signalapp

#Signal also doesn't provide value to me beyond what #XMPP + #OMEMO & #eMail + #PGP/MIME can offer for decades now.

Instead it creates shitty dependencies to #Google - #APIs that have no legitimate reason to exist and their unwillingness to allow #SelfHosting makes it worse than a default #Zulip installation in terms of #InfoSec, #OPsec, #ComSec & #ITsec.

@monocles released a massively improved version of the #android #xmpp app #monocleschat (#fdroid ).

The input line has been redesigned. Emojis are easier to handle now. It should look more familiar to users of other messengers.
You can set a background for the chatview.
Reactions can be send more easily (message selection).
The usage of the HW AEC has been disabled for the #Fairphone4 leading to a better videocall experience for #FP4 owners.
Thank you @monocles for this release.

Hey #xmpp folks, is Prosody still the easiest way to self-host a server?

Please, please, please say it isn't

EDIT: use case is I have an Ubuntu box from Hetzner hosting some websites and (soon) a nextcloud, this is what I had set up on my last dedicated server (except owncloud back then) and the new box has Plesk on it and after just a couple of weeks of pressing buttons in Plesk and having it Do It All For Me I've been completely spoiled

EDIT 2: the root of the issue is that Plesk hides your .cert and .key files. Scrambles their names, removes their extensions and dumps them all under /opt/psa/certificates/ not even in different folders for different domains, you'd expect mydomain.com.cert but instead you get scfLios3a, all mixed up in a bucket with the eggs on top, good luck telling Prosody where to look for those buggers
