A recent security audit of #Conversations_im¹ found that wildcard certificate handling didn’t fully comply with the spec.

Conversations was accepting *.a.example for c.b.a.example, even though wildcards are only meant to match a single label.

This issue has been fixed in version 2.18.0, now live on Google Play.

You are encouraged to self-host #XMPP but you are not required to. We try to make self hosting as easy as possible. I think it is one step above hosting your own website but way easier than hosting your own e-mail.

If you are medium tech-savvy I recommend getting your own domain and going for an XMPP provider that let’s you bring your own domain (for example: account.conversations.im/domai…) this gives you the flexibility to self host or switch providers later.

I think I’ve found a relatively nice solution for #FediLinks in #Conversations_im.

You can put web+ap URIs into a message (or room description) and ideally a click on those will open your Mastodon client. However if no installed app supports those (the only app that I’m aware of is Fedilab) Conversations will open a browser instead.

Currently no app will create web+ap links but it is fairly easy to handcraft them.

The XMPP Software Foundation has published an open letter to Meta, asking them to support true messaging interoperability using the XMPP protocol.

Meta had previously integrated this protocol, and WhatsApp is actually built on XMPP for its message routing system.

We support this initiative as it represents the best approach for genuine interoperability. Federation is the way to go !

Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms. ✨

It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.

Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best? 🤔

I recently developed a thing to turn a Conversations chat* into a PDF.

codeberg.org/moji/typst-conver…

That story began with a friend of mine that had got a XMPP group chat where they shared updates and pictures of their latest travel adventure. Now chat is rather ephemeral and they wanted to preserve those memories in an easy accessible format that is PDF. And so I put something together.

* actually any chat as long as you can get the raw data in the expected format

There are no known security issues with "Siacs OMEMO" / OMEMO v0.3¹ despite of what some very loud Signal fans would like you to believe. It has been audited by a third party² who took a longer look at it than all of the Signal fans combined.

Yes, #OMEMO v0.7+ (or TWOMEMO 😜) is a cleaner spec with more features (most notably Stanza Content Encryption). That’s why we wrote it. I’m a co-author. That doesn’t mean v0.3 is insecure.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. That's the predictable strategy all big corps will take: to use Open Standards as a ladder they can climb up, to popularity and profit. Then kick the ladder out from under them. Gullibility in this regard will only set back Open Standards for a very long time. #XMPP should have pretty much taken over the world by now, but was passed over time and again by the likes of Meta and Google/Alphabet, who usurped it, then betrayed it.

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

The #DMA targets walled gardens and messaging interoperability. Meta, the designated gatekeeper, offers an solution that falls short of its goals.

The XMPP Standards Foundation (@xmpp) publishes an Open Letter to Meta, to advocate for adoption of #XMPP for messaging interoperability.

Getting started with XMPP/Jabber and PGP for federated, encrypted messaging

This is a short thread where I explain how I started using the XMPP protocol and PGP encryption for secure messaging. I am not a security expert, but I am a mathematician and I am confortable with the Linux command line. This guide is for people who want to use PGP for secure messaging easily. You will need to be okay with typing commands into the Linux command line in order to do this, but I will tell you exactly what to enter.

Part 1: XMPP

Mastodon is like email, but for social media. You sign up for an account with a server, and then you can talk with any other accounts that are signed up on other servers, as long as your servers are getting along. (No one wants emails from the sketchy spam server, and we want to be able to choose between Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) is the same thing for text messaging.

Just like signing up for an email/Mastodon account, you need to sign up for an account. You can find a list of servers at list.jabber.at/ and will probably at least need to provide an email addess when making an account.

Once you have made an account, you need a client. On Linux, I've been having a good time using Dino (dino.im/). You can then enter your account name and password to log into your XMPP account and start chatting! There are both public rooms and you can also message directly with your friends.

The web frontend redesign is underway! Chat functionality is almost ready, and completing it is a critical step towards a Libervia release. I’ll likely be making a video soon to show off the progress.

Screenshot of the current state of Libervia web frontend chat feature, showing the new design. While the general spirit is similar to previous version, many changes have been made, including a new color theme, a left panel with rooms and direct messages, a new area with connect profile shown, font-awesome icons instead of mixed ones with fontello, etc.

Maybe time for people and groups to start considering #Matrix for their current #Discord servers, as Discord becomes focused on getting money out of everyone who uses it, with likely enshitification beginning soon. #XMPP/#Jabber is also an alternative.

Both are decentralized, publicly owned services, where you can interact with anyone else regardless of which server they choose to be hosted on, just like Mastodon, et al.
