#xmpp

Eu tenho um grande apreço por esse protocolo.

O cenário geopolítico atual, mostra desafios à medida que os EUA tomam medidas desesperadas para evitar sua inevitável perda de hegemonia.

É uma época que povos precisam buscar #SoberaniaDigital sobre seus destinos e as ferramentas de tecnologia da informação do status quo são cada vez mais instrumentalizadas para dominar a classe trabalhadora mundo afora.

Um protocolo descentralizado, robusto e extremamente extensível como o #xmpp é uma das preciosidades que precisamos explorar para rompermos as amarras com os produtos estadunidenses.

Esse texto, em inglês, condensa e expande muitas das considerações que tenho sobre o XMPP.

@david_chisnall @MrTuxracer

I'm not sure if there is a high concentration of accounts on any single #XMPP server today, as it were once with Google. There is probably a high concentration of XMPP servers at @hetzner DCs, though.

If we talk about "#European Alternatives" (see OP) the most relevant point is the #digitalSovereignty aspect @martin mentioned. Signal runs and depends entirely on AWS and Google and is therefore completely out.

#Jabber

@martin @MrTuxracer

Yes, metadata could be reduced in #xmpp but at least there is no single instance which gathers all the metadata like for centralized messengers

A well-designed centralised messenger such as Signal does not have access to most of the metadata that XMPP has.

Also the ability to run your own server helps to reduce the amount of metadata stored on strangers servers and increases digital sovereignty

This is quite misleading. The problem is that a lot of the metadata is visible to more than one server. Being able to run your own server doesn't help if someone else's server impacts your privacy. When Google Talk came along, they were hosting more than 50% of my contacts, so saw almost a huge amount of my metadata. Even though I was running my own server, Google saw more metadata from me than Signal sees with a centralised service.

can someone explain to me how OMEMO is supposed to work?

on Dino, for old messages sent on a different device, i get "You received a message encrypted with OMEMO but your client doesn't support OMEMO." but my client does support OMEMO - i can send and receive new messages just fine.

i've been using unencrypted for a while as a result, but i'd rather not do that if possible.

@upofadown @spv

for #Jabber/#XMPP. Maybe not the highest #security level compared to e.g. Briar or Tox, but a good and pragmatic trade-off between #confidentiality, #digitalSovereignty and #usability.

to centralised walled gardens such as Signal, Telegram or Threema.

Hmm, ejabberd seems unable to acquire TLS certificates from ZeroSSL, failing on requesting HEAD https://acme.zerossl.com/v2/DV90/newNonce with HTTP error: unexpected content type: application/octet-stream...

Not sure who to report that to.

#Jabber/#XMPP to the rescue

Free and federated #instantMessaging since 1999!

#freeSoftware #digitalSovereignty

TIL about https://slidge.im/, which is a set of bridges for #XMPP to other services (Whatsapp, Slack, Messenger, Discord, ...)

Took me ~2h to figure out how to make Whatsapp work with #Prosody. It consumes ~150MB RAM so I can still fit it on my RPi5.

Maybe I'll ditch #Matrix ? It's the fashionable thing to do these days...

Cheogram is now available to beta test on iOS!! #xmpp. V basic function, just messaging and calls but looks nice!

Ich habe immer noch keine vernünftige Lösung bzgl. #selfhosting #messaging

#XMPP schien damals gut, ist aber scheinbar nahezu tot. #Matrix geht auch in eine Richtung, die mir nicht gefällt, und ist mir zu komplex für meinen Usecase.

Vermutlich ist #Deltachat noch am nächsten dran, auch wenn mir der Webclient abgeht. Dafür ist es simpel und braucht als Infrastruktur ohnehin nur den vorhandenen Mailserver.

Alternativ Signal? Nervt aber ebenfalls weil es die Historie nur lokal hält und das Backup auf dem Device liegt und auch keinen Webclient bietet... alles nicht so einfach.

Begun, the Freemium Model has.

#Matrix users, it’s always a good time to move to #XMPP

It’s an Internet standard, it’s not a corporate monoculture, it can host thousands of users on a Raspberry Pi, and it’s more privacy-conscious by design.

Check out the Quick and Easy Guide to Jabber/XMPP!
