@joinjabber ooh, that is GREAT to hear! Thanks!
Is there a reason that I should be using #Jabber versus other #XMPP clients?
RE: https://todon.nl/@burnoutqueen/116419705967006483
BTW, #DeltaChat has proven to be able to get through "the great firewall". So, a real world example that it is a great encrypted chat alternative and/or backup to #Signal #Matrix & #WhatsApp
Can #XMPP make it through?

I am very sorry for you to need to cope with this:
the best option for private chatting TODAY when it comes to #security, usability/user-friendly, #resilience, #digitalindependence and #freedom is #DeltaChat a chat app that uses #SMTP + #IMAP at its backbone, not your favorite "perfect" chat protocol, you don't need new better protocols, you need tools that actually work for the people
@adbenitez It's easy to say that one doesn't need better protocols after those better protocols have become so ubiquitous that you don't even realize how you're using them yourself.
Apple APNS and Google FCM use #XMPP technology to deliver push messages instantly. All the other messengers listed (#Signal, #Element, #DeltaChat) thus use XMPP technology. Everyone uses XMPP, but when it is about marketing, suddenly XMPP is not necessary.
@pixelschubsi @adbenitez new protocols are fine. The point may rather be that contrary to popular nerd belief protocols are only one part of an effort. What distinguishes #deltachat from #xmpp is that one is a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms and using standards under the hood, while the other is a set of specs with many different implementations and UX approaches on the various platforms, and sometimes tenuous compatibility between them.
@delta @pixelschubsi @adbenitez
I absolutely agree, that "a cross-platform mass-user focused app with a consistent UX across the platforms" is missing desperately in the #Jabber/#XMPP ecosystem.
There are really good clients for Jabber, but none of them fits above description.
AFAIK, both #Snikket/#Borogove by @snikket_im and #Fluux by @ProcessOne try to close that gap.
Still, I prefer the approach of Delta building on #Rust and #Tauri, instead of #Haxe or #Typescript. #YKINMKBYKIOK.

Idea of the night: Proton's next product should be “Proton Chat,” which would simply be an XMPP account with encryption enabled by default. This could revitalize the protocol while offering a decentralized and interoperable solution.

There is a tiny trigger in the original post, that is hard to ignore, though: The words "de-bigtech" and Signal together 😉
Signal is (according to themselves) inextricable from AWS and Google. It depends on #bigTech. That shouldn't be an excuse to derail questions, but it needs self-discipline 🙂
That being said, #Jabber/#XMPP might be a solution for the Signal desktop use case, with a (self-hosted?) #slidge gateway. Probably not easy.
I never tried a peer-to-peer messaging app. How well does it work with multiple devices? I.e. I have #Jabber/#XMPP both at home and at my workplace. The devices are never switched on at the same time, until I clone myself 🙂 Still, thanks to the (trustworthy, self-hosted) server, all incoming and outgoing messages are synchronized. I wonder, if/how a peer-to-peer IM can do that.
More trustworthy messaging alternatives:

- https://github.com/berty #berty
- https://delta.chat/ #deltachat
- anything #xmpp / #jabber like e.g. #monal

Thanks for mentioning Paligram! Never heard of it. Added it to my IM chart:

And 👍 to #Jabber/#XMPP, the "fediverse of chat" since 1999 🙂
The only relevant feature for any instant messaging app (or social app, for that matter) is: Are my friends using it? People will gladly overlook minor inconsistencies or missing features as long as they can communicate with their friends. We shouldn’t recommend #Signal as a stepping stone before Jabber/XMPP becomes "good enough," if goodness is defined by the number of people using it.
