Can we make XMPP popular again? We really could need an universal internet standard for IM.

Is there a guide how one can check that the PlayStore version matches the source code?

Interoperability and encryption do not contradict each other. OMEMO is such a federated encryption protocol for example.

That's why we need internet standards for IM. Sadly, not many people seem to care about if their messenger is XMPP compatible or not.

WhatsApp will be forced to federate as a designated gatekeeper under the DMA by the EU. XMPP could be an obvious choice to them since they already use it internally.

If you account for resources which have been put into development of those features, it's pretty obvious XMPP is the more agile protocol. Five independent open source developers take longer to develop some feature in their spare time t

Why could have? It is truly great. I've been running a server for my family for two years now and it has been pretty solid. If I show my friends how to get an XMPP address I also recommend them a modern client (Android: Conversations f

If you have used OMEMO or OpenPGP to encrypt your messages, the content of your messages is secure, provided you have verified the public keys of your contacts. If you didn't verify the keys, you should do it now and check that no susp

It's kind of having a renaissance as more people discover the world outside of walled gardens. Platforms die eventually, internet standards are here to stay.

The core is deliberately small and is meant to be built upon and not be a opionated and monolithic. Such a protocol will become obsolete rather quickly if standardized. The features you mentioned are not just possible in theory, but have be

I use Mastodon over the web-interface. Where would signatures of sent content be generated or signed? How does the receiving end verify the signature? With XMPP+OMEMO I have verified the fingerprints of my friends by scanning their QR code.

We even had it long before that. It's called XMPP, it's the internet standard for instant messaging and modern clients implement Signal style encryption.

Internet standards like IRC or XMPP? Investing in those instead of walled gardens was the right choice to begin with.

XMPP still works wonderfully if you want to setup a chat server for your friends and family and be independent from all the walled garden messaging apps.

You should join a server you think has a reasonable approach to moderating other servers. On any other service the administrator can also prevent you from seeing posts, this is not specific to Mastodon at all. For private messaging other st

Not sure if this might be related, but there is a project who proposes to use XMPP instead of ActivityPub for the ActivityStreams vocabulary: https://inqlab.net/2022-01-17-activitystreams-over-xmpp.html

This was the event that pushed me to go XMPP only for messaging. Pulled in my family and some friends. Internet standards without vendor lock-in is now a requirement for me.
