"Der Knackpunkt: Wo stehen die Server – und wem gehören sie?"

Richtig. Solange ich mir nicht selbst aussuchen kann wem die Servers gehören, z.B. dem lokalen Internet-Verein, welchem ich als Mitglied vertraue, ist #digitaleSouveränität nicht gegeben.

Mein Internet-Verein mit Servers in #Berlin, DE, #EU bietet seit 2009 #Jabber/#XMPP an. Es gibt aber auch viele andere Providers. Siehe

@ralphm Going back Slack/Discord use cases, one can react to an old message (ej. for role bots) or use emojis as a way to run informal polls. So they might need to refer to an old message, that requires message IDs, which bring in state to be kept on the server side. #xmpp already has that concept from what I can see in the blog, stanza-id. Does the XML parsing requirements of xmpp make use of XML namespaces?

@ravi I once snagged a random public-wifi connection for a few seconds from a building that was roughly 75-100 meters away, while being in the passenger seat of my brother's car driving 50km/h

monocles chat managed to deliver the 4 or 5 messages i had queued up, and received around 10 messages, 3 from a friend, and 7 from a MUC.

#xmpp rocks :D

(and TCP too)

I am impressed by how lightweight #XMPP is. Most of time, I am not able to open even simple websites on my mobile data while in underground #Delhi metro, but XMPP messages go through immediately.

On a related note, I remember having internet issues in my previous phone a couple of years ago after switching to Lineage OS. Matrix, websites etc. didn't use to work. But XMPP messages used to go through fine.

@prav wants to reach out to people directly through presence at various events. We talk about #privacy, #Federation / #xmpp and #FreeSoftware. We can do this sustainably at scale only if we are able to support volunteers going to these events by covering their travel, accommodation and food expenses. Or we have a large pool of volunteers so we have someone nearby to any event.

So please donate or volunteer if you can at
prav.app/donate/event-bursarie

We have been at many events already. #prav

@ulfi I can relate, as I recently tried out #monal for #iPadOS. While praiseworthy for being the honest effort that it is, it doesn't have anywhere the bling-bling that the other chat apps have.

At this time, emoji reactions don't work yet in Monal, so with that shortcoming alone, I can't recommend #XMPP to any of the #Apple followers in my life. They almost certainly have high expectations for any new apps, for such functionality

@erebion at #Prav we are looking for donations opencollective.com/pravapp We go to conferences in many cities across India and promote #xmpp so we'd like to support people traveling to these events and also print flyers, stickers etc.

Also we run an #xmpp service that is integrated into the app to provide a #Signal / #WhatsApp like onboarding experience (you only need to enter a phone number). So we need to pay for hosting and sms charges too.

opencollective.comPrav - Open CollectivePrav is an XMPP messaging service with a focus on friendly onboarding and ease of use
