actually, #email (#SMTP + #IMAP) can totally be used for #InstantMessaging it is not the protocols it is the specific email providers and "big fishes" like #gmail and #Outlook the ones that put extra limitations on top like graylisting etc. with #ArcaneChat and #DeltaChat you can have sub-second (#ENCRYPTED) email delivery

Happy Birthday to #InstantMessaging and #RealTimeCommunication with #XMPP!
Emerged from the #Jabber #community in 1999 and originally designed to provide an open and #decentralised alternative to #ICQ and #MSN, XMPP evolved to an independent alternative for todays #chat apps.

The state of #InstantMessaging in 2025: I have one virtual workspace dedicated solely to #IM clients. They occupy 820 MB of memory, which is actually an improvement since the last time I checked.
But I still miss the days when all I needed was #Pidgin.
Proč už nevěřím Telegramu
Je to deset let, co jsem začal používat Telegram. Za tu dobu jsem přesvědčil hodně lidí, aby ho začali používat, obhajoval jsem ho, ale v poslední době mám čím dál větší pocit, že jsem se v něm mýlil. V tomto blogpostu se pokusím vysvětlit proč.

One thing I don't like about #Signal is that it only supports one mobile device per account. I know they want to make it easy for the average user. But for someone who has two phones, it's very limiting.
That's why I prefer #Matrix. Adding another device and decrypting all existing messages doesn't even feel so clunky anymore.
