I understand that the endless social media debates about which messaging client is best are obnoxious. That’s why we need to finally adopt a common standard so everyone can choose between Cheogram, Conversations, and Yaxim, or Dino and Gajim, without having to convince everyone else to use the same one.

Wir brauchen unbedingt 1000 millionen weitere #soooooovielbessere #digitale #Alternaiven ohne echte Menschen, damit garantiert die meisten Menschen bei #META bleiben, weil dort die meisten Menschen zu erreichen sind! #Dummheit

@DasGehtGleichWieder ich finde es auch Schwachsinn, dass alle zwei Tage jemand einen neuen Messenger erfindet. Deshalb empfehle ich die Lösung die 27 Jahre alt ist, sich aber stetig weiter entwickelt und die einzige Lösung die ein #IETF Standard ist.
#Jabber is the worst form of #instantMessaging except for all the others.

Not at all .. it's not surviving by any standards.
On the contrary, #XMPP is not just a standard #IETF protocol, it is a thriving ecosystem composed by a multitude of clients, servers, libraries and tools being actively developed in just about any programming language, with some of the most prominent developments spread over Germany, France, UK and the USA among others, solid and well established communities in the Nederlands, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Russia ( and particularly in Germany, France, UK and the USA .. but that kinda goes without saying ..) just to name a few, and servers running from almost all across the world.
If you'd like to know more about it, don't hesitate to ask!
Forty years ago, 21 people gathered for the first meeting of what became the Internet Engineering Task Force or #IETF . Every day billions of people use the open standards and technologies developed in the IETF. And nearly 8000 volunteer IETF participants from around the world collaborate in more than 100 working groups evolving those open standards and making the Internet work better!

Happy 40th to the #IETF!
I enjoyed 15 years of my career with the IETF, traveling the world, making friends, publishing Internet-Drafts and RFCs. 😁

Just because we're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not after us 🙂
I'm personally not paranoid about Matrix, but still prefer #Jabber. Partially because the former is more or less dominated by a single vendor. Also, because #XMPP is more lightweight. Anyway, whatever is free and federated, is fine with me.
@ferret are we sure that it's an open standard?
I was under the impression that Matrix was an "open protocol" for decentralised, secure communications "that provided a set of open APIs" for decentralised communication.
Unlike #XMPP which is an actual open #IETF standard with multiple implementations in the form of clients, servers, server components, and code libraries.
This is not a thrilling post. It is a reference. I put together a field guide to how identity standards actually get made across the IETF, W3C, OpenID Foundation, and FIDO. I’ll be pointing back to this all year.

Happy Jabber Day 🎂 🥳
On January 4, 1999, Jabber was first announced to the public¹.
Twenty-seven years later, Jabber—or XMPP, as it became known after standardization through the #IETF—remains the only truly vendor-independent, federated instant messaging platform.
In almost three decades, XMPP has never stopped evolving and remains our best tool for digital independence.
