Any XMPP users here ?

@dausacker si uso #XMPP, lo que no uso es #Telegram, pero quiero seguir algunos canales de los temas de mi interés desde fuera de la aplicación.

Tenho lido um pouco mais sobre o XMPP, e encontrei esse estudo sobre os rastros de dados que algumas apps #XMPP deixam no Android.

(no final, eles falam que novos estudos deveriam analisar também os rastros que são deixados nos servidores)

Gajim is currently migrating from GTK3 to GTK4. 🔧 GTK is Gajim's user interface toolkit. It provides building blocks, like windows, buttons and labels. 🧩

Version 4 of this toolkit brings performance improvements to Gajim, e.g. faster rendering of user interface elements. 💨
Additionally, switching to GTK4 allows Gajim to use newer widgets, like nice drop downs.
Here is a quick peek at a new group chat "@ mention" widget. 😎

Stay tuned! :xmpp:

So I noticed the other day that I've been banned in a major #XMPP channel. No warnings, no reasons given, I have no idea why it happened. (I was always on good terms with the mods there, or at least so I believe.)

I joined with an alt and politely asked if anyone knew why my other account was banned. In response, my alt account was also silently banned.

Utterly baffling...what rule did I break, who the heck did I piss off, and when???

📢 DISROOT: Servicio XMPP 📢

Hemos venido lidiando con un problema de estabilidad en nuestro servidor XMPP desde hace algunos días, así que si experimentan cualquier inconveniente de conectividad, por favor, avísennos vía correo (support@) o en el Fedi.

Pensamos que, de momento, el problema está contenido pero podría ser que no.

Sospechamos que tiene que ver con la inundación de stanzas de presencia (fragmentos de XML que definen si una persona usuaria está en línea o no) de ciertas salas cuando estas están puenteadas a Matrix vía Bifrost. Especialmente con salas grandes de Matrix infladas con miles de usuarios inactivos (pero presentes en la sala). Parece ser peor cuando, además, la sala está puenteada a Telegram y otros.

Así que avísennos si las cosas se ponen raras, estamos vigilando y esperamos encontrar alguna solución la semana que viene si el problema vuelve a aparecer.

#Disroot #Novedades #XMPP

Work on @prav iOS app will start next week.

Hoping to have one more easy on boarding option for #iOS users as well (#Quicksy was released for iOS recently).

We have raised funds for this work from the community, thanks to everyone who contributed!

Details here https://opencollective.com/prav-ios/updates/starting-work-on-prav-for-ios

Prav will offer an option not in Quicksy - to choose a username to hide your phone number to other group members. This is still in progress, see https://opencollective.com/custom-username

Seems like #Matrix is now popular enough to attract #spam. Something I only knew from #XMPP until last week but now I also receive strange stuff from random people via Matrix.

@juliank I think one major pain point currently in #XMPP is adding new devices. Matrix encryption issues I have experienced are less frequent compared to XMPP. IMHO, device cross signing can improve the situation to a large extend.

This is one of the high priority issues identified by @prav community and we hope to focus on this once we finish https://prav.app/donate/custom-username/

Once the XEP gets validated by XMPP community, we plan to run another crowd funding campaign to implement this (we submitted a proposal to NLNet for this, but was not accepted).

#Prav #XMPP #FreeSoftware

Drafting a method for verifying new devices for #XMPP end to end encrypted chats.

This is a very early draft/brain dump, once a few people validates, it can be submitted to official review process.

#Matrix already implements cross signing and this makes encryption experience very smooth, but in XMPP using multiple devices in encrypted rooms is really a mess.

XMPP already have a concept of master key per identity defined in OpenPGP for XMPP. We can combine these two.

O #WhatsApp, controlado pela #Meta coleta uma grande quantidade de dados, alimentando algoritmos de publicidade e comprometendo a sua privacidade. E, sendo uma plataforma centralizada, está sujeita a bloqueios e censura.

Como alternativa, o #XMPP oferece uma rede descentralizada, onde você controla seus dados e escolhe seu servidor. É seguro, com criptografia de ponta a ponta e 100% transparente. Chega de vigilância corporativa! Experimente o XMPP em https://xmpp.eco.br.

Novedades en actualización de monocles chat. Hilo en inglés.
https://en.osm.town/@contrapunctus/113394095232312344
#xmpp

v2 of the #XMPP client #MonoclesChat made it to #FDroid the other day, and it's a big update!

Let's start with the shiny new features -

1. Material You theme, joining upstream #Conversations

2. Proper UI for emoji reactions, joining #Gajim and Conversations

3. Type @ to complete usernames, with shortcuts for mentioning all mods and mentioning all active participants. Type : to insert emojis.

4. Per-chat custom backgrounds.

What is the #XMPP Summit and should you go? 🧵

The XMPP Summit is a two day event for the people who write and implement XMPP extensions (XEPs). It is not a conference. There are no presentations. It is more like a round table discussion and active participation is encouraged.
Similar to an unconference at the beginning of Day 1 participants can suggest topics and others can indicate (via a +1) whether or not they are interested in that topic. Afterwards a rough order of topics is established

Okay so basically the @prav project is meant to make it easy to get people onto federated messaging with #XMPP (which is kinda like #ActivityPub, but for private messaging). We use phone numbers to sign up, but unfortunately those phone numbers get exposed to anyone you talk to—so we want to optionally let people set a different username instead 🕵🏼

I managed to find a firm willing to do it, but for a fee...which you can help fund here: https://prav.app/donate/custom-username 💰
