XMPP Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Paying users get early access to the new change

  We currently have the Matrix protocol, with client applications such as Element supporting it. We also have XMPP as another option. Generally more modern than IRC, these platforms are primarily developed as FOSS software. This makes it less likely for developers to impact their users negatively. However, despite these advantages, these platforms lack the refined user experience (addictiveness and stickiness) that... Source: 12 months ago

• WhatsApp would not remove end-to-end encryption for UK law, says chief

  That's essentially what we had with Jabber/XMPP [0] and OTR [1]. Since the encryption happened client-side, it would also work across networks. There was a time when Google chat, Facebook Messengers and other high profile chat networks could all interconnect through it. [0] https://xmpp.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• XMPP Group Chat & Introduction

  I present to you a MUC I've created on the XMPP (also informally known as Jabber) network. I've put some thought into which network would be best fit and decided that, while IRC is an excellent way to chat, there is an apparent lack of mobile support and perhaps lacks the ability to choose a server of your choice. Furthermore, I've concluded for many years that Matrix isn't a good choice for multiple concerning... Source: over 1 year ago

• Why don’t other messaging apps support other apple devices?

  Interoperability of messaging used to be the case, and the underlying tech is there. At one point, Messages, AOL Instant Messenger, Facebook, and Google Talk / Hangouts / Voice all supported exchanging messages via the IETF XMPP (Jabber) messaging standard. Sometime in the mid 2010s, the services started removing XMPP support, presumably in an order to differentiate their platforms and lock people in. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Brave Talk and Chat - Discord of Web3?

  Matrix and XMPP already exist. Both are decentralised, have E2EE support for messaging, and have been audited. Brave's BAT system is already a mess, so that possibility of. Source: almost 2 years ago

  XMPP isn't a bad protocol by any means, so if you wanna try it out: https://xmpp.org/. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

• Messaging interoperability would be a nightmare for tech giants, but a dream for consumers

  No it won’t. Go look up the https://xmpp.org/ standard. Source: about 2 years ago

• Anyone else noticing that some students don't know how to draft emails?

  But in all seriousness I do agree that there's no perfect medium or platform. A signal advantage of email is that the user of any standards-compliant email system can send email to another user regardless of which standards-compliant email system they use. We had the opportunity to make chat apps also work that way but there was too much commercial value in creating walled gardens and so now that dream is gone... Source: about 2 years ago

• newbie dev here, need help.

  I'd personally go with the two options you mentioned, but you could also look into XMPP. It's a messaging protocol built on top of TCP (not http like websocket) and is used by the likes of WhatsApp (and even FCM internally) etc. But again, depending on your use case it is probably overkill.

• What options have we got for selfhosted push notifications on Android/Smartwatch?

  I would look into something XMPP-based. You need a server (there are docker images) and an Android client. Source: over 2 years ago

  Signal is mostly fine, consider self hosting a XMPP, but if not stick with Signal, (on Android you can use Molly instead of the Signal app). Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: How do you feel about Slack?

  I don't think it's just pidgin. Let's pretend I want to get started on XMPP -- I just did "apt search xmpp".. My first results were coyim -- cannot find xep-0313 support, but [0] seems to indicate no? dino-im -- HEAD supports xep-0313 but Ubuntu's repo has "0.0.git20180130"... From [1] I think it should be fine too? ekg2-jabbel "0.4~pre+20120506.1" -- looks dead, but based on date, I guess no support empathy... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Federated instant messaging?

  Regarding alternatives, there is the project I work on, Snikket. It uses XMPP, a protocol that is federated like Matrix but has been around a lot longer. Source: almost 3 years ago

• My First Solo Project (Tips?)

  I'm not convinced you actually need low level networking for this, which is what I think someone means when they talk about "networking". In case I'm wrong, have a look at socket and probably also XMPP. Source: almost 3 years ago

• WHAT I DO FOR A COOL HOBBY -- I AM A CHATBOX HERO

  YO. I host an XMPP server. Registration is open on 3 hosts: "Toofast.vip", "Hardelectronic.vip" or "Macceo.Co" for Eve Online related stuff. Once registered you can use that JID (jabber ID) for use on any federated MUC (multi user chat). On other servers! That's a beauty of XMPP (https://xmpp.org) is that it's decentralized, and opensource. You can use for desktop (my recommendation) https://gajim.org and... Source: almost 3 years ago

• Start using privacy friendly software to protect yourself from the govt

  Element does not give any added advantage unless the servers are located abroad. Plus, using xmpp, it's older and more experienced(and less marketed) cousin is also a good idea. Source: about 3 years ago
