@npub10r2…w6yx No it's just branding, but this might be helpful for users. For example the apps are called Snikket on both iOS and Android and can be downloaded for free on the Play Store. It also should be much lighter on resources than something like Synapse and it's based on the IETF internet standard XMPP: https://snikket.org/faq/#q-why-not-the-matrix-protocol

@npub10r2…w6yx @npub1ske…k9u5 Moxie concludes that federated systems are "stuck in time", but this is shown to be false by the web and also XMPP. That web standards are controlled by a cabal of trillion dollar corporations is not great, but they DO evolve and are anything else than "stuck in time".

@npub10r2…w6yx Since it's an implementation issue, just configure your instance to not evict posts anymore -> it's not broken anymore.

@npub10r2…w6yx This sounds like an implementation issue not a protocol issue. The other two are currently walled gardens that do not follow any federated standard at all, so they loose automatically in my view.

What do you think about the double ratchet Signal protocol? Wouldn't it be much easier to rely on a single key instead if we assume they never get broken?

@npub1w0h…uwua I have enabled the "Private DNS" option in the Android settings since some time now. I installed the Beta Version of Conversations from F-Droid yesterday. It works fine as always. Do I need to change something in the Conversation settings as well? I couldn't find anything.

@npub1yck…ujmw @npub10cq…6nm3 What's wrong with STARTTLS? Direct TLS is also possible and widely supported btw.

Machine-in-the-middle Detection and Monitoring for #XMPP Servers
https://certwatch.xmpp.net/
This service allows you to check your XMPP server's #TLS setup, helps you publicly store the hash of the public key in a secure way, and then monitors your server to make sure that connections to it get the same public key that you have configured and sends notifications if anything changes (which may indicate a #mitm attack on your service).

Aus dem gleichen Grund sollte man zum Beispiel XMPP und nicht Matrix benutzen.

@npub1wc2…4sk7 I never noticed that since I only use a single chat address. Maybe you can create a separate workspace for each address?

@npub1wc2…4sk7 I don't use Discord either but it's not difficult to find out how the UI looks. You're calling a lot of things 'shit' but no details at all. Personally I can use Gajim just fine, even with the new UI.

@npub1wc2…4sk7 You mean the update that made it look more like Discord?

@npub1wc2…4sk7 #XMPP clients are okay these days. Of course apps with a lot of funding and no interoperability with other software to care about have more shiny stuff, but Conversations (gratis on F-Droid) is just a solid messenger that does one thing and does it well.

@npub19lt…qfjk Yes, some aggregators report the numbers, but you would have to track them all down. I mostly read feeds from my phone, which changes IP address often. Unless you use some kind of tracking technique, you would not be able to trace those HTTP requests back to me.

@npub1trd…ussx @npub1v7j…mcl4 @npub1zxn…7s3u @npub1w0h…uwua Yes, but the developer found out about it in an article that his open source app is used by the police. He did not go to the police and tried to sell them a product like Matrix did. Matrix can't even build their product on existing standards so no reason to use them anyways.

@npub1tx3…kxnn Yes, this is true. The node owning the chatroom can go down and synchronize later. However I'm not sure this is important? I never had any problems with this on XMPP either. Either way they didn't had to invent their own incompatible thing for that, which is much worse (for example sending an encrypted message to Matrix users will never be possible, everything other then plain text messages is not compatible). They should have just made a better XMPP client with their millions of funding.

@npub1tx3…kxnn @npub1tc6…mhfm Instead of standardizing their protocol (which would be pointless anyways since there are no improvements over the XMPP standard) they made the Matrix.org foundation. If you look at the affiliations of the foundation (go to https://matrix.org/about/ > Spec Core Team and click the GitHub links) they all work for Element, a venture capital startup: https://venturebeat.com/data-infrastructure/element-bolsters-decentralized-team-messaging-with-30m-raise
Matrix, Element, Synapse (which is 90% of the ecosystem) is all from the same startup.

@npub1tx3…kxnn @npub1tc6…mhfm Hi, thanks for writing this interesting article.
> So niche that when group chats became all the rage (Slack, Discord), the free software community reinvented it (Matrix) to compete while group chats were already possible with XMPP.
Sadly Matrix is mostly controlled by venture capital and did not go through the standardization efforts like the XMPP did, like submitting their protocol to the IETF. Right now, XMPP is still the standard for instant messaging, not Matrix.

#[0] Public rooms and e2ee is not really useful anyways... but you could probably receive OMEMO keys from a anonymous muc user with minor tweaks.
having the option to join rooms semi-anonymously is a big plus btw.

2023-04-28 11:18:57

#[0] What is meant by full e2e? and why would it be not possible in xmpp so you need to create your own completely new, not-standard compliant protocol (which standard conforming clients will never be able commuicate with e2ee)?

#[0] Not only are the stated goals of Matrix already covered by XMPP, it has been for years before Matrix was founded. Go to matrix.org and read the "Imagine a world..." sentences.

#[0] What about (PGP encrypted) email?

2023-04-19 02:00:21

Today my classmates made a #[0] group to communicate. Since Discord is not interoperable with any other service, I would have to give them my personal information and agree to their ToS to participate. By using and thus promoting further usage of walled garden messengers like Discord, you take away everybodies freedom to choose.
Make interoperability and standards compliance a hard requirement for communication apps you use. Go #[1] exclusive for messengers! :xmpp:
