Testing GNU Taler at #Datenspuren was fun. And by fun I mean mostly unspectacular. It just worked. I scanned a QR code. I got some Kolle Mate.

I think some sort of GNU Taler integration into #Conversations_im would be pretty cool.

If you would like to integrate Taler into Conversations there are currently funding opportunities available¹ from @nlnet and both the Taler developer as well as myself are happy to help with scoping.

Signal is trustworthy, IMHO, but it has fundamental drawbacks for me:

1. It depends on AWS and Google #bigTech infrastructure. As #EU citizen, I prefer EU based services or even #selfHosting.

2. Even their desktop client requires to have Google Android or Apple iOS, which I don't have nor want.

3. They ask for a phone number to register. I don't like that.

Fortunately, all that has been solved 1999 with the introduction of #Jabber, the #fediverse of chat 🙂

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.

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.)

¿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.

How does your implementation of #XMPP ⇔ #ActivityPub differentiate from the #Libervia one by @Goffi? Just curiuos, thanks!

My three reasons not to use Signal:

1. It only runs on Android/iOS, which I don't (want to) have. Even their desktop client needs an Android/iOS device!

2. It runs and depends on AWS. I.e. DJT could ask his buddy Jeff B. to switch it off. As #EU citizen, I prefer a local server.

3. They want a phone number to register. This makes multipe accounts for different purposes practically impossible.

Fortunately, there's #Jabber — since 1999!

The #Conversations_im release that was rejected yesterday is now live on the Google Play beta channel.

A late addition to the 2.19.0-beta release is message moderation for public channels, giving moderators the ability to delete spam messages.

After the Code of Conduct and the Mediation process, the Cooperative Development Guidelines now have a Governance Document that can be used by any Organization/Foundation/Collective/Community/Project that wants to have a governance based on participatory, equity and permacomputing/accessibility principles.

Its time for us to finally start building participatory digital commons, that are developed by the community and for the community and the Governance document is part 1 of doing just that. (Decision making and Structure will follow after this).

I am also excited to announce that @queerspark has also been listed as a collective that adopted pieces of the Cooperative Development Guidelines.
