On my way to Brussels for XMPP summit then FOSDEM. Contact me here or on XMPP if you want to discuss Libervia, see a demo, or talk about related topics (XMPP Pubsub, e2ee, activityPub or email gateways, forums, multiparty A/V calls, metadata reduction, serverless, data policy, etc).

You can also directly come to our booth (XMPP & Realtime Lounge).

Please note that this year we are in AW level 1 instead of the usual location.

Retrouvez mon dernier article intitulé « Le besoin urgent de reconquérir nos communications » qui parle du monopole états-uniens dans nos communications mais aussi de l’UE qui fait (souvent) de la merde et comment on reprend le contrôle sur tout ça.

N’hésitez pas à me laisser votre avis, à partager ça dans vos réseaux, avec vos proches, si vous avez aimé. ✊

Le besoin urgent de reconquérir nos communications

Aussi loin que je me souvienne dans mon histoire avec l’informatique, j’ai toujours utilisé des services états-uniens. Toujours. J’imagine que vous aussi. Gmail, Whatsapp, Instagram, Discord, Snapchat, et même Signal dépendent de services américains.

Jabboratory has its own website at Codeberg pages now 🎉
jabboratory.codeberg.page/

Jabboratory is a safe space that develops XMPP and the Jabber network.

We do:
- write XMPP protocols, UI/UX guidelines, implementation guidelines
- Help XMPP implementations socially and technically, old and new
- involve, empower and remove any roadblocks for people to have their voice heard and directly change things in implementations they use or servers
- improve the Jabber network culture
and a lot more..

Our tech-free lounge is open to anyone that wants to be part of the conversation 😃

Totgesagt? Keineswegs. Rund um Jabber (XMPP) gibt es nach wie vor eine erstaunlich engagierte Community. Der Digital Independence Day hat ordentlich Bewegung reingebracht: Innerhalb nur einer Woche entstanden Info-Folder in drei Sprachen – komplett layoutet von @digitalcourage. Deutsch und Englisch wurden noch rechtzeitig zur FOSDEM gedruckt, Französisch folgte als PDF. Ja, ein paar kleine Fehler sind noch drin – Version 2 kommt asap. Die Folder gibt’s im Digitalcourage-Shop: shop.digitalcourage.de

There are a bunch of server and even more client implementations. Yes, @element still has a lot of influence, but The @matrix Foundation is doing it's best to get independent and is funded by a really diverse ecosystem.

For example I'm the founder of a company based in #Dresden building on #matrix. Our Open Source client SDK #trixnity is used in the TI-Messenger of every German public health insurance company but one - so possibly millions of users. We also have an Open Source client #Tammy. Yes, we still have the problem, that Element is recommended by a lot of people but the same problem applies to a lot of Open Source ecosystems including #xmpp.

I'm pretty sure the ecosystem would survive without Element despite the fact that Element is doing a good job in pushing the ecosystem in the right direction despite the VC.

We are slowly building a fully standardized, scalable and coherent social network, step by step 🏗️

All the interactions between the apps and platforms are strictly defined in XMPP

Stories for example are defined in this simple extension: xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0501.h….

And for the first time two totally different clients are sharing Stories, in real time, without any adaptation in between ✨
..and everything is stored on your XMPP account! 🔒 Checkout the Stories integration in @monocles 🤩

#XMPP has never been so alive ♥️

monocles.social/@monocles/1159…

The only relevant feature for any instant messaging app (or social app, for that matter) is: Are my friends using it? People will gladly overlook minor inconsistencies or missing features as long as they can communicate with their friends. We shouldn’t recommend #Signal as a stepping stone before Jabber/XMPP becomes "good enough," if goodness is defined by the number of people using it.

Thanks @prosodyim for this awesome XMPP server! I’ve been running pimux.de for 10 years now, and the experience from an administrator’s point of view has been pretty awesome!

Pour rappel, je serai à Saint-Cergue, en Suisse, ces 24 et 25 janvier aux Rencontres Hivernales du Libre !

J'y donnerai une conférence « XMPP ou comment ne pas réinventer la roue : Messagerie fédérée et sécurisée en 2026 » où vous pourrez découvrir XMPP et son écosystème moderne pour ne pas dépendre de produits centralisés pour la messagerie.

Ça sera également l'occasion pour les personnes qui le souhaitent de poser des questions sur XMPP, venir discuter, découvrir plein de choses …

N'hésitez pas à venir engager la discussion !

#RHL26 #XMPP

but it's a big step for most of the people!

However the problem is that most people don't even think about switching from WA to Signal - and NEVER heard about conversations #XMPP

#Schools could / MUST do more! Instead they are pushing students into digital dependencies. School leaders avoid the hassle to think, they appreciate conformity.

#Signal is bridge technology.

Today, you cannot tell non-techie people to choose from a #XMPP provider on their own, because they would have struggle to do so.

I suggest we continue delivering basic IT knowledge to those who are interested and ask things. All the others are doomed in any case.

RE: social.tchncs.de/@restless/115…

Wenn wir das mit der digitalen Unabhängigkeit ernst meinen ist #Signal einfach nur eine Ablenkung.

#Quicksy hingegen ist ein wirklicher Schritt in die richtige Richtung. Quicksy ist so konzipiert, dass man darüber hinaus wächst und ein nahtloser Übergang zu #Conversations_im möglich ist.
Quicksy ist die Einstiegsdroge für wirklich unabhängiges Instant Messaging mit #XMPP.

Et voilà, Gajim 2.4.2 est la première version packagée pour macOS !

Just wanted to install an #XMPP client to create an account to test something. I moved away to #Matrix years ago because I had no hope anymore for #XMPP, but now that I wanted to create an account, I am just shocked at how dead it is: #Fedora still has Gajim 1.7.3, when the last release is 2.4.1. #pkgsrc is a bit but noch much better with 2.1.1. #Tkabber is even worse: pkgsrc has 0.11.1, when 1.1.2 is the latest release that was released in 2015(!). It seems distributions keep XMPP clients around, but don’t update them because nobody is using them anymore. I had not expected for XMPP to be that dead. That’s shocking.

I also think if distributions cannot be bothered to update a package in over 10 years, they should just remove it…

Et pourquoi pas #XMPP ?

Loin d'être seulement un protocole, c'est une communauté fédérée qui propose une alternative en phase avec la protection de la vie privée (salons semi-anonymes, facilement auto-hébergeable avec #snikket), la sobriété énergétique (serveurs très peu consommateurs, repose sur des connexions TLS idle), et très compatible avec les idées du logiciel libre (normes gérées par une fondation au fonctionnement démocratique @xmpp, logiciels et clients majeurs entièrement libres).

I’m sure I missed a lot of things, but since the only reference on the topic is the - now defunct - infosec handbook website with the "admin in the middle" article, I guess that could be useful to somebody.
