fennell.dev is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Selber Infrastruktur bereitzustellen war einmal vollkommen normal. Ückück und Daniel erzählen von früher.
Die ganze Folge #2 von NET⫽SPLIT gibt es auf PeerTube oder in der Podcast-App eurer Wahl.

Ich habe einen neuen Podcast: NET⫽SPLIT
Jetzt ist es offiziell, @daniel und ich haben zusammen einen #Podcast, @netsplit \o/
Geplant ist ein Laberpodcast rund um #OpenSource und Dezentralität, auch wenn die ganz genaue Ausrichtung noch nicht 100% fest steht.
Den Podcast veröffentlichen wir als Video- und Audio-Format über #PeerTube und natürlich auch #RSS und es kommt jeden Monat eine neue Folge raus.
Ich bin mega happy mit dem Projekt und ich hoffe, ihr schaut oder hört mal rein. Alle Abo-Möglichkeiten findet ihr auf unserer Website zusammen gefasst:
P.S.: An alle @rebootpolitics -Fans, keine Sorge, mein geliebter Politik-Podcast läuft natürlich auch weiter und wir planen aktuell wieder neue Interviews und anderen Schabernack.

Gibt es gute #Messenger? NET⫽SPLIT Folge #2
Letzten Monat hat @daniel mir noch Fragen zum #Fediverse gestellt, diesen Monat geht es weiter mit einigen meiner Fragen zu (dezentralen) Messengern.
In Folge zwei unseres neuen Podcasts @netsplit sprechen wir u.a. darüber, warum er sich ausgerechnet für #XMPP entschieden hat und wie er mit Featurerequests für #Conversations umgeht.

Den Podcast gibt es als Videoformat auf #PeerTube
und klassisch als Audiopodcast via #RSS
und wir haben auch schon eine Website :D
Während ich im letzten Monat Ückück (@ueckueck) über das Fediverse ausgefragt habe, geht es in der zweiten Folge von NET⫽SPLIT um XMPP. Ückück fragt mich, wie ich zu XMPP gekommen bin, wie ich an neue Features herangehe und was ich von Matrix halte.

More good news, SPAM/abuse reporting is coming to ejabberd.
This is just the first little step, more to come soon.
The best feature of #jabberEl is… #Emacs. Some examples:
I can observe multiple group chats side-by-side without having to type or click, esp. useful for team chats at work.
I can use M-/ (expand dynamic abbreviation) in any chat and correction functions such as M-c (capitalize word).
Passwords are stored in #pass. Not sure, if other clients can do that.
Code highlighting is supported, because Emacs does that. Some other clients can do that, too, i.e. #Gajim and #Prose.
Ah ah, c'est fun de voir un pull XMPP (comme on en vend tous les ans au FOSDEM) en regardant les vidéos courtes sur France Info: https://www.franceinfo.fr/environnement/catastrophes-naturelles/les-francais-sont-ils-vraiment-prepares-a-affronter-tous-les-risques_8235889.html#xtor=CS2-765-[copy]-
C'est Gaël Musquet, une personne que j'ai croisée quelques fois par le passé à des événements FOSS, et qui était président d'OSM France ou quelque chose comme ça à l'époque. Je crois que c'est un expert en sécurité maintenant. Me demande s'il a un compte sur le Fediverse tient.
Chouette en tout cas :)
I created a short tutorial video explaining the advantages of #XMPP versus Walled Garden #Messengers .
I am still a bit unsure if it makes sense to create #English tutorial videos as a non-native speaker.
If you want to take a look at the resulting video, you can find it at #MakerTube :

A recording of the talk “Jabber/XMPP: 25 Years of Digital Independence” that I gave at Linux Days in Prague the other day is now available online.
Learn why open source is necessary but not sufficient for digital sovereignty and why we need open standards like XMPP.
If you have anything particular you'd like to discuss, the Call for Participation/Ideas is open until 1 October 2026.
Some ideas include:

From the wiki:
Sprints are a great opportunity to get to know the people you are usually working together with online. For people who are not working on XMPP full time they can also be a good opportunity to finally sit down and start working on that one project they always wanted to work on.If this sounds like the right event for you, come and join us!Beyond that Sprints are a good opportunity for inter op testing and bug fixing or in general a good opportunity to learn from each other. If you want to implement feature X in your client, another client developer, who already implemented that feature, might be there and can tell you what to look out for when implementing this feature.
Sprints can also be a rare instance where client and server devs are in the same room and a good opportunity to rapid prototype a new feature that has the client and server interacting with each other.
Conversations 2.21.0 (releasing around Oct 20, 2026) will enable “Require channel binding” by default for new installs.
If you run a public #XMPP server, please ensure it supports SCRAM-*-PLUS channel binding so new users can connect.

The crowd has spoken! 📢
We had many requests yesterday to ask us if we accept #Liberapay donations.
Well here we go 😸 https://liberapay.com/movim/
The link was also added on the main page, Github and related articles ✨
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.
#XMPP Community
User & developers are spread #world-wide in the XMPP community!
