@leah Pretty sure that @prosodyim will stay with #XMPP
Pequeñas mejoras, pero muy jugosas, en @dino 0.5. ¡Gran trabajo!
After a lot of years, I just shut down my #xmpp server and removed prosody
@erebion at #Prav we are looking for donations https://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.
Dino 0.5 is out!
Dino now features improved file transfers and two completely reworked dialogs.

#discord IS LITERALLY THE PROBLEM!
It's worse than any #IRC, #Mumble or even the old #TeamSpeak & #Skype for that matter.
It combines the disadvantages of #Forum, #paywalled #documentation, #chat and #voicechat with 0 redeeming qualities (unlike #Zulip & Mumble & #XMPP+#OMEMO) it's just an #InformationBlackhole!
I'm shure fecking #dread has better moderation and I'd rather use #MicrosoftTeams + #Slack cuz those at least have proper #moderation tools.
Case in point: I'd rather #SelfHost all my comms infrastructure than to ever use something like Discord or any other #GDPR-violating SaaS that is just enshittification.
I'd rather recommend people to instead choose a tool that does everything but horrible to go with multiple smaller & good tools
Check @alternativeto and @european_alternatives for options.
Seria top o Governo ter uma plataforma dele de comunicação onde todos serviços públicos comuniquem com cidadãos por ali. Dentro do app Gov.br.
O Governo mantém sua soberania, não obriga cidadão a usar solução prioritária de bilionário e se fosse federado com XMPP o cidadão que já tem outra conta poderia comunicar, por exemplo, do seu isaCloud Messenger com os contatos dos serviços públicos sem precisar entrar no Gov.br.
Poderiam usar o próprio nome do canal deles que é Fala.BR.
O XMPP é realmente foda porque é descentralizado, federado, livre e tecnologicamente incrível
What would be some good places to donate towards improving #XMPP stuff?
I'm mostly happy, but would like to donate to make sure I can continue to enjoy it all, but don't know where.
@kkarhan @Blaumensch1 @kuketzblog @monocles @delta #xmpp oder #matrix. Ich hab mich für nen eigenen Matrix Server entschieden. Läuft wie warme Butter auf nem #vps mit #docker bei Strato.
I agree, that there is no server-side meta data protection on #XMPP. But it compensates by
1. impede mass data surveillance, thanks to federation, and
2. making multiple accounts, incl. anonymous and burner accounts, very easy.
Note, that most #Jabber clients do default to #OMEMO E2EE "on" now. It took a long time, though.
