#Conversations_im has the ability to fetch outage status information from an independent server and display that in case the regular #XMPP server can not be reached.
This is powered by XEP-0455 (xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0455.h…).
TLDR: Server gives client a URL to a JSON file during normal connects, client will hold on to that URL and fetch the JSON file in case server is unreachable.
Service Outage Status

The EU is mandating messaging apps be compatible with each other, but the current plan is looking less like #federation and more like "register your chat app with Meta, send them all your data, and link with their prescribed APIs that they may decide to change any day"
At the risk of preaching to the converted, here's @guusdk advocating for *real* interoperability between messaging apps, using an existing, battle-tested, #IETF-backed standard: #XMPP!

Now that I got #xmpp concepts and I know how this works, I found a good reason to think that #profanity is not good enoght, the reason is on the picture.
Basically I can't fetch the previous messages on grupchats something that is required for me.
#xmpp @jabber comunity Do you know about a tui or console app that support this and other usuful XEPs?
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.

@samueljohnson Glad you asked. Signal is a centralized service run on Big Tech infrastructure. You can decide to trust Signal as your service provider; That’s absolutely fine and reasonable even. But they don’t allow federation or inter-op with anyone who wants to make different choices.
#XMPP gives you that choice. Don’t trust me to be your server operator? That’s fine: pick a different one.

Can't wait to find out what the next "but #XMPP isn't / doesn't have" excuse will be! Maybe Stickers?
Looks like Dino is enabling #OMEMO by default for the next release¹. I think that was the last of the major #XMPP clients to do so. Hopefully we can now put the "But XMPP is not encrypted by default" debate to rest.

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'm putting the finishing touches on a massive release of the Converse #XMPP chat client. 🚀
✨ Here’s what to look forward to:
◾ Groupchat DMs: You can DM other participants without knowing their address
◾ Blocklists for spammers 💩
◾ Accessibility improvements, like support for RTL languages
◾ Media enhancements
◾Big performance enhancements, particularly for chats with a long history and many participants.
◾Three new themes, Nordic 🗻 , Dracula 🧛♂️ and Cyberpunk 🌆

Good news everyone, Movim 0.30 codename Encke ☄️ is finally there! 🥳
This release is actually way bigger than you might think! Movim is bringing group-call to all your devices and still rely 100% on the XMPP standard (it is even compatible with @dino ✨).
In this new version you'll also find a lot of improvements in the UI, a better integration of the Stories and a new way to personalize how Movim looks 🎨 .
Thanks to @nlnet and for their support ❤️.
Share the good new around and invite your friends to join Movim 😊 !

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.

In 3 days, the jabber.fr wiki, a niche specialized wiki with a lot of outdated info and only one or two occasional contributors at the moment, has served more than 200 000 pages to shitty LLM bots.
Our PHP and mariadb processes are constantly hammered by them, and most of them are masquerading as normal traffic with browser user agents.
Is there a better solution than blocking off entire countries and cloud provider subnets at the moment?
Any fairly modern #XMPP clients for Android around these days? And with fairly modern, I mean Kotlin and/or Jetpack Compose. Flutter might be ok too.

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? 🤔
#alternative #madeineurope #decentralized @european_alternatives
That’s awesome. I think the URIs are supposed to look like this: web+activitypub:toot.fedilab.app/@apps (Notice the absence of //)
Maybe @jenniferplusplus can chime in to clarify? Maybe also something to be more explicit about in the FEP.
I know that over a decade we had both variants in the #XMPP world and that turned out to be a mess when parsing (Correct in the XMPP world is without the //)
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.

@debacle was faster than me yesterday, nonetheless I am proud to announce the release of the poezio terminal XMPP client version 0.15(.1): blog.mathieui.net/poezio-0-15.…

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.
I just released version 1.10.0 of slixmpp! It has one important security fix as well as nice improvements on TLS connectivity!
blog.mathieui.net/slixmpp-1.10…
What the hell is wrong with #Jabber? The two most important console clients, #Poezio and #Profanity, both released version 0.15.0 today. Same version number, same day, same first letter "P". Do you want to confuse us all?
At least Poezio is written in #Python, Profanity in #C/#Clang, i.e. there are some differences. Otherwise it would be too much.
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.
