#XSF Announcement

Today the #XMPP Standards Foundation publishes an Open Letter to urge #Meta to adopt XMPP for #messaging #interoperability.

It’s time for real interoperability. Let’s make it happen.

@janvlug #Signal is better than #WhatsApp, but still centralized. The entire world depending on a Single organization is not very sustainable. We have Quicksy and Prav both giving the same convenience of Signal without lock-in. #Quicksy and #Prav users can talk to each other and to any other #XMPP app.

To actually practice the freedom to improve a software, we should be able to self host the server part (not necessarily each person has to self host, but that option can offer real choice).

I've seen a lot of people talking about leaving #WhatsApp. Great!

Only, don't replace one WhatsApp with another.

#Signal and #Threema are centralized services, and just as vulnerable to #enshittification as Twitter or WA.

Instead, use a platform that's standardized and federated - #XMPP, a.k.a. #Jabber.

The easiest way to use it is to install #Quicksy from the Play Store, App Store, or F-Droid.

diasp.in and durare.org #xmpp services are now running the latest version 13.0 of #prosody xmpp server!

Thanks to @buster for doing the upgrade. There was a small unexpected down time as database format had changed and we needed to fix that manually.

If you're still recommending #Signal, you may have missed the tech oligarchs' takeover of the US government. The best time to recommend European alternatives was 8 years ago; the second best is now.

@HistoPol @debacle @thevril @pluralistic Quicksy is a great #XMPP service (with Android and iOS clients), which is trivially easy to join. Uses phone numbers for registration.

Prav is a fork of Quicksy with only an Android client for now, but with a #cooperative structure and better customer support.

@HistoPol @debacle @thevril @pluralistic we need to own our means of communication. So we can guarantee it’s not being tampered with. And as such it can only be built on free and open standards.

...described, would, strategically speaking, be an excellent solution for society to re-own its #DigitalMarketSquare, or as US film maker and storyteller #MatthewCooke, phrased it:

👉 "Should Society Own its Social Media"?

IMHO: OFC!!!👈

IMO, it is the chief requisite of maintaining its individual freedom!

Thank you for the clarification. I did state (at least in the convo mentioned) that #XMPP is (but) a protocol.
The FOSS messenger(s) based on it, however, to my knowledge, are but niche apps for the technologically savvy.--No-one of my RL contacts has ever mentioned it (nor represantive sample, OFC.)

#Jabber, w/o having any further knowledge other than the superficial one...

... I've pointed out in an older thread 🧵 here and Cory @pluralistic in a now famous speech about #Enshittification, there's the severe lock-in effect, the negative aspects of the #NetworkEffect.

There are #XMPP and #Matrix, the "ancient" and "obvious" #FOSS choices. I've never used them but from what I've read, they were never able to gain much market share and are...

Is anyone using #xmpp ? I'm running a Jabber client but have no contacts still. Feel free to add me so we can chat and talk about random stuff. My JID is on my profile page: gandalf@movim.eu

@feld another point people miss: unlike on #Signal, #WhatsApp, #Telegram, etc where there is a central server watching all the social graphs of the whole network, in #DeltaChat and other decentralized platforms like #XMPP what a server can see is pretty limited and fragmented, We started talking about activists btw, and having the freedom to choose a server instead a central server potentially collaborating with your enemy is a killer feature

Gajim 2.0.0 has been released 🎉 and it's a big upgrade!

Gajim migrated its user interface toolkit to GTK 4, which brings performance improvements and sets the ground for great features to follow. ⏩

Additionally, this release brings improved image previews, better tools for fighting spam, and much more.

All of these changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you. ❤️
