It seems like things like Jabber and Signal are going to become more and more prevalent as Facebook and other suppress voices outside the mainstream ... in an entirely ham-hand fashion.
The thing I miss with non-facebook stuff is threaded discussion. Earlier comment just get lost.
Is there an XMPP client with threaded discussion?
- codetrotter 6y agoSeems like there are extensions for threaded discussions. For example, the following XEP (XMPP Extension) talks about best practices for message threads: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0201.html https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0201.html And XEP-0085 about chat state notifications has a section about threads. https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0085.html#bizrules-threads https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0085.html#bizrules-threads So probably your best bet is to look at the list of supported features of all XMPP clients and see which ones support XEP-0085, and then between any clients that support that see if they support threading.
- joe_the_user 6y agoYeah, I saw that and I've looked for clients and features but it's really quite difficult to discover them.
- m-p-3 6y agoWhat about Matrix? It has E2EE and you can "quote" a previous message to provide context in a crowded discussion.
- approxim8ion 6y agoFrom what I've read, Matrix servers are significantly harder to run compared to XMPP.
- joe_the_user 6y agoYou can quote on signal too but quoting isn't sufficient, it doesn't give you a list of subtopic branching from a single topic. You want a UI something HN or the Facebook feed for coherent discussion imo. Twitter, even, is insufficient - we can see how terrible Twitter is anything like in-depth discussion.
