What a great morning on #fdroid for #XMPP users:

1. #Conversations
A beta version of 2.15 arrived at F-Droid. It looks great and now uses Material 3 theme. Be aware: To install this version you need to explicitly select it in F-Droid.

2. #monocleschat
A new minor version has been released which brings GIF import, compatible stickers and other improvements.

3. #Snikket
A new version has been released bringing fixes and improvements from Conversations to Snikket users.

🎉 Have a nice weekend 🎉


Gerade gesehen:
Die #XMPP App #monocleschat ist über das Osterwochenende im Play Store zum reduzierten Preis von 0,99€ (anstatt 3,99€) erhältlich.

URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.monocles.chat

Zur Vollständigkeit: Bei #fdroid und #codeberg ist sie weiterhin kostenfrei erhältlich.

Hintergrund: Die App monocles chat ist ein Fork von #Conversations und setzt einen Schwerpunkt auf intuitiver Bedienung. Sie ähnelt vom Aufbau noch stärker den typischen Messengern.

@Debacle @J👀 @Nicoco @xıʃǝɟ @Daniel Gultsch I have used android-sms bridge from beeper however now it appears this is built into their app and this sms-bridge that can use my phone sms is no longer in development. Thus this would be a super #conversations feature I must say.

XEP-xxxx: Message Displayed Synchronization


With Message Displayed Synchronization Conversations is now able to synchronize the read state (displayed) state of public conferences across multiple devices.


That's really ridiculous. #Google decided to remove the #xmpp client #Conversations because they think it uploads contact data.

Beside the fact that it doesn't upload any contact data, there are many mainstream messengers which exactly do this, all available on #gplay.

Additionally it seems to be extremly hard or even impossible to get in contact with someone who can explain the decision and revert it.

Such gatekeepers are extremly harmful.

Google has just removed #Conversations_im from the Play Store because they think we are uploading the user’s contact list. We don’t.


wer also #Conversations über #FDroid nutzt:
https://conversations.im/#donate 💸
... muss ich auch mal wieder machen...
@daniel


#conversations removed but whatsapp not.

So it should be clear, the contacts upload is a lie.
Maybe it is political pressure against self hosted chat services.


Glückwunsch! Und herzlichsten Dank, @daniel

#Conversations ist einer der Gründe, weshalb wir #jabbet/#xmpp bei @digitalcourage wieder gute Gewissens empfehlen können.

@daniel I use #conversations on Android and #gajim on Linux. Both work fine with #omemo :-)


Prefer to recommend that folks install #Conversations, #Cheogram, and other forks from F-Droid:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.cheogram.android/

#tallship #FOSS #e2ee #Privacy #FDroid #communications

.


I don't use monocles, but I suspect it uses the same approach than Cheogram and display reactions as replies indeed. It should get better once #Conversations 3 is out I suppose.


WhatsApp kopieren - aber richtig! (Datengarten #94)


In den fünf Jahren seines Bestehens setzt der Android Jabber/XMPP client immer wieder Maßstäbe in Sachen Bedienbarkeit und Zuverlässigkeit. Doch was steckt eigentlich dahinter? Nutzen wir die Gelegenheit um mit dem Entwickler zusammen hinter die Kulissen eines neuen Features zu schauen; Wie tief muss man in die XMPP Trickkiste greifen und wo steht sich XMPP manchmal selber im Weg? Nach der Vorstellung des Features (der Vortrag ist gleichzeitig der Zeitpunkt an dem die neue Version veröffentlicht wird) geht es jedoch nicht nur um XMPP sondern auch um grundsätzliche, architektonische Fragen die sich potentiell auf andere Instant Messaging Dienste übertragen lassen.

Der Datengarten ist eine regelmäßige Veranstaltung des CCC Berlin.


#XMPP #CertWatch said that »[My] settings are correct and no MITM was detected.« That's great.

It then continued with some #PubSub stuff and finally said »If you do not have a pubsub-capable client you can subscribe for text notifications by opening a chat with certwatch.xmpp.net and sending the message “subscribe <my xmpp server>”«.

My question is now: How do I open a chat with a hostname and not a JID?

My clients are #Gajim resp. #Conversations / #BlabberIM.

Anyone?


@🆃🅸🅼🆃🆃🅼🆈 @Snikket @thomholwerda #XMPP is excelent choice although unfortunatelly #Dino is not keyboard and #screenreader accessible on linux and windows thus it may not suit some people. For majority I think it's awesome. #Conversations is fully accessible and hopefully it'll stay like this in the future.


XEPs 0444 (reactions 👍) and 0080 (continuous sharing location👍👍👍) are on @daniel 's dashboard 😺 and roadmap.

this is fine 😅

#Conversations #xmpp #android


#Conversations 2.12.0 is now a #UnifiedPush distributor! Check out how to set it up here:

https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/

https://youtube.com/watch?v=wKTk6XGMp3I

Thanks @daniel @mattj!


#UnifiedPush using #xmpp #Conversations :blobheart:

Now #fluffychat (#matrix) gets notifications instantly (using conversations.im server)

Just set what XMPP account (in any server) will get notified and share it in your device

https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/conversations/

Free/Open source FTW!!

APPS with UP service: https://unifiedpush.org/users/apps/

(you can set what server will manage the service, eventually: your own)


@ErcanErdemArdal Oh, I realise you were probably talking about #quicksy and not slidge in this toot, sorry about that. Yes, Quicksy JIDs (#XMPP addresses) look like +555123456@quicksy.im, so if you want an XMPP account not linked to your phone number, do not use Quicksy but rather #conversations or forks like cheogram or blabber.
I also don't like to see my phone number in my JID *but* a lot of users appreciate it. It makes the user experience closer to whatsapp, signal, telegram, etc.


@daniel That's really nice to read, thanks! Slidge tries to XEP-comply as much as it can and I'm happy to fix stuff if it doesn't. Bridged contacts and groups should not be differentiable from other #XMPP entities; it seems to be the case as it (mostly) just works with #Conversations (for me, at least).


I'm :blobsmilehappy: #XMPP #Conversations user with our own server 👪

Recently one family member changed they mobile device and since then have had many Push #Notification Issues™️

Only this device is affected (xiaomi OS), so i did not messed with server configs.

Now reading "How do XEP-0357: Push Notifications work?" https://codeberg.org/iNPUTmice/Conversations#how-do-xep-0357-push-notifications-work and

"Conversations Push Proxy"

https://github.com/iNPUTmice/p2/blob/master/README.md

I'll will install google's play store version and wait it has some effect on the issue 🤞


Wow, :xmpp: #xmpp client @dino released new version with full 📞 #call support. I tested both 🔈audio and 🎥video between #conversations and #dino. It worked perfectly. 👍 👍
