@gnulinux

Oder #Jabber/#XMPP. Ich nutze hauptsächlich #Gajim und #Dino als Clients.

Mit server-side Bridges für #IRC (#biboumi), #SMS (#sms4you) und Matrix (#slidge). Eine Bridge zu ActivityPub (#libervia) habe ich mangels Bedarf derzeit nicht mehr.

Slidge kann auch Discord, Facebook, Mattermost, Signal, Steam, Telegram, Tencent QQ und Whatsapp bridgen: slidge.im/ Habe ich aber keinen Bedarf.

Libervia kann mittlerweile auch Email bridgen. Habe ich noch nicht probiert.

@andybalaam I disagree, because "truly end-to-end encrypted, decentralized & federated messaging" has been done at leadt trice befire #Matrix came along:

Like I've been in #PGP-encrypted #MailingLists before Matrix and @signalapp were even proposed!

Tive um problema com a criptografia #OMEMO no #XMPP. A mensagem recebida aparece corretamente no #Conversations_im, mas no Dino fica:

> I sent you an OMEMO encrypted message but your client doesn’t seem to support that. Find more information on conversations.im/omemo

E no #Gajim fica:

> Esta mensagem foi criptografada com OMEMO, mas não para o seu dispositivo.

Alguém sabe por que isso acontece?

É minha primeira conversa criptografada, sem ser comigo mesmo.

#gajim

Ich habe es irgendwie geschafft, einen Kontakt zu verbergen. Er ist noch da, denn ich kann ihn nicht hinzufügen ("is already in your contact list")
Weiß jemand, wie ich den Kontakt wieder sichtbar bekomme?

Updated #gajim and all my message window fonts turned huge.

Tried reducing the font size in the Style menu but that also reduces all the system fonts that are in an okay size. :blobcattilt:

@snugglybun all #disvord clones suck, because the concept of #discord sucks.

And the best part:

  • All these things require less resources and can be #SelfHosted!

Lots of little fixes and improvements. Especially for Mac.

@debacle

So, #XMPP HTTP upload is not server-to-server like with email? Then yeah, that exposes the recipient's IP too. And that's on by default even in #Gajim. 😬

2026-02-24

@debacle

HTTP upload? Isn't that how #XMPP sends pictures in chat? Even #Gajim and #Conversations will auto-download those.

I was under the impression those are stored-and-forwarded by the XMPP server, though, since most XMPP clients are behind NAT and can't directly communicate with each other.

Was I mistaken?

More #xmpp spam coming in these days 😿.

How can I get #conversations_im and #gajim and #dino_im to notice from each other when I blocked a user?

Currently I have to block and close the same annoying spam chat on each device / in each app separately. Is that normal or should I complain to my server admin? (*duck*).

I can't be the first one wishing for an XEP for this 😉.
@daniel ?

How does #gajim look on a small display like on a mobile phone? Are there any screenshots available?

У #gajim клиента #jabber очень современный интерфейс. Когда я им последний раз пользовался, он представлял из себя окно с тремя кнопками, из которого я не смог пройти авторизацию на сервере. Сейчас же он поддерживает последние XEP. Я удивлен, что в jabber есть лайки. Я удивлен, что jabber есть истории dev.gajim.org/gajim/gajim/-/is. И gajim разрабатывается! в отличие от #pidgin (последнее обновление Jan 14, 2019).

Signal recently implemented and launched Pinning of messages

signal.org/blog/pinned-message

I really think it is a useful feature and have been using it in Mattermost and Slack for many years.

I hope #xmpp clients like #dino #gajim and #conversations_im will follow with a similar feature, maybe even making it possible to sync such message pins across clients.

For those who want to start some new project in response to the #Discord thing, I applaud your determination and good intentions, but please just be honest that you have a good **decade or two** of work ahead of you if you want to start from scratch. If that feels like it's too far into the future, you might instead want to consider throwing in your efforts to **existing** projects, and doing whatever you can to lift up whatever weaknesses they have, having gotten to know them well for their strengths and weaknesses. This takes time - to gain a sense of the ecosystem. Whatever ugly legacy they have, please do your best to tolerate it (say, #XML) **if it's working**, and not creating ongoing problems.

Voltaire famously said: "Perfect is the enemy of good". Alas, huge numbers of #OpenSource geeks have a very hard time learning this lesson.

Many good, existing projects need help **marketing**!! They need help with grassroots efforts to build more of a userbase. They need help getting into classrooms, getting into school curriculum, getting into a default install of #RaspberryPi OS, #Debian, getting into the "Welcome Wizard" app shown after a fresh install.

@xgranade EXACTLY THAT!

#Discord is like #MicrosoftTeams a "Shitty #App that tries to be a jack of all trades, and thus is a master of none!" (Instead beibg mediocre at best…)

Instead if one #Bloatware, multiple smaller tools can do the same aspects better.

The same goes for anything else...

@marxistvegan I don't dismiss the problem but I also think we should stop accepting #TechIlliteracy and ignorance as cop-outs.

  • People gonna learn shit then! If they can spend hours micro-optimizing their Browser or wasting it on fragile hacks to deshittify Windows, then they can also have the patience of 5-15 minutes for some hands-on setup.

I'm not even asking #TechIlliterates to go to a #CryptoParty or use #Tails, but merely following step-by-step guides for easy-to-use and -setup options like #DeltaChat & #Thunderbird and/or #monoclesChat & #gajim respectably.

  • Also Proton, like Signal, are snitches if not a #HoneyPot!

@novet @ambiguous_yelp I'll never trust any #SingleVendor and/or #SingleProvider solution, but demand real #E2EE with #SelfCustody and #SelfHosting capability as #FLOSS with reproduceable builds

  • Something #Signal can't and won't deliver as a matter of principle!

Unlike #monoclesChat, #gajim (#XMPP+OMEMO) & #deltachat as well as #Thunderbird!
