No idea where the idea comes from, that #Jabber would have less problems with #spam than other federated communication systems 🤷

There are some tools in place, e.g. #RTBL and #messageModeration, which are great. But that's not sufficient.

We need new gate keeping schemes for large group chats. Open group chats are prone to spam, closing them puts too much acceptance work load on #MUC admins. I'm not yet sure, how a "semi-open" solution could look like.

#XMPP

Shortly before migrating some things back from #Matrix to #XMPP, I experienced first-hand what a shitshow group chats on the network are. If you are exposed to targeted spam attacks of some idiots, XMPP gives you not a single effective tool to handle it. Yet, XMPP fanboys walk around here telling people how bad moderation on Matrix is virtually all day.

The upcoming chat control regulations in Europe threaten our privacy and freedom of expression. These measures could lead to mass surveillance, infringing on our fundamental rights and creating a chilling effect on open dialogue.

In contrast, using XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol) and monocles chat offers a secure alternative. XMPP is decentralized, giving users control over their data, while monocles chat ensures end-to-end encryption for confidential conversations.

Let’s prioritize security and freedom in our communications! Choose platforms that protect your rights.

1/2 📢 Got a groundbreaking idea for #free #software and #privacy preserving projects that support our mission for @Taler but missed our first eight #funding calls? No worries!

🌟 Our 9th Open Call is live since 1st of August and you’ve got about two months to apply - the #deadline is 1st of October, 2025 12:00 CEST (noon). ⏰ @EC_NGI

💡We’re on the lookout for proposals that will revolutionize #digitalpayment systems and contribute to an #open, #trustworthy, and #reliable internet for all. 💻

@NGI_Taler @Taler @EC_NGI

I imagine #TALER payments from within a #Jabber/#XMPP chat app… No, I'll not apply for it 🙂

XMPP is pronounced 'ʤæb.əʳ 🙂

To me,
#XMPP is the universal communication protocol, used for #IoT, #WebRTC, gaming, social, and #instantMessaging.
#Jabber is the latter in an open and federated network.
#CiscoJabber™ is a product by Cisco.
Zimpy is many things, but don't look it up in #UrbanDictionary!

(Btw. I fiercely advocate naming #freeSoftware projects, children, cats, companies, everything, after #UUIDs. No more unambiguousness, no more #trademark issues.)

Like, saying to your mate down the pub "Oh you should get on Jabber" versus "You should get on ecks em pee pee"

One of these words sounds like a thing for talking about whatever with your mates, the other sounds like a thing for bollocking around with config files so you can talk to other people who bollock around with config files about bollocking around with config files

@ifixcoinops
Torn between the parallel universe where Jabber®️™️ isn't owned by Cisco¹ and the one where #xmpp is pronounced as "Zimpy!"²

Wait, did Movim just unlocked the global search feature in its chat messages? 😱

Thanks to the powerful tsvector/tsquery #PostgreSQL feature (feature not available on MariaDB sorry 😔) you can now search messages by keywords in your history and directly load the conversation from the past 🕰️ !

Just click on the search button or hit Ctrl + F to open the brand new search panel 🔍

The next version will be packed with plenty of awesome features for sure 🚀✨

¿Cansada/o/e de chats que te espían, te venden y encima no te dejan decir “mierda”?
Pues ya puedes mudarte a nuestro servidor XMPP

https://tuiterchat.tuiter.ovh/

Funciona con apps chulas (Snikket, Dino, Gajim...)
No tiene anuncios. No tiene stickers horribles. No tiene Elon.

Solo texto, emojis y gente rara.
Como en los buenos tiempos.
