XMPP

Tauri wrapper of the ConverseJS web client.

I recently saw Alex's video about XMPP and I got curious.

I am using Element and Schildichat a bit, trying Element X and curious about the new Development here. It seems vibrant, they rewrite stuff in rust, the Apps are fancy and all.

But I tried Conversations and it seems based too, has transparent encryption, it is damn fast, usable, supports groups and files and all. Probably doesnt use the latest fancy Android SDKs but it seems solid.

I was surprised about how fast it was, as Matrix drastically varies per server. But also I found many dead communities, and in general I dont see XMPP at all, while many Projects (if not using Discord, bruh...) have a Matrix room.

How secure is OMEMO in todays standards? Or OpenPGP, compared to Matrix or Signal Encryption? I heard it also has rotating keys and all.

There are other things, like permission systems, chosen federation, privacy, bridge support and more, that are interesting. Are there advanced modern WebUIs for XMPP you like?

I saw that it uses up waaay less resources, why is that? Really, is "simply encrypted mail" somehow worse in an important way?

Similar to IRC, where I never found nice usable apps for my taste, I thought XMPP was deprecated, but that doesnt seem so?

What can you tell me about XMPP, is it modern, secure, privacy friendly?

So I understand this instance is integrated with XMPP and also vaguely understand XMPP is a chat protocol? It would be great if someone could point me towards a simple explanation around anything else important, I'm a bit lost and the only 'chat thingy' I use are messenger apps (is that even the same?)

Post xmpp room messages to Mastodon account. Follow fediverse's users and replicate their public posts to any room.

i wrote a blog post about setting up a compliant ejabberd server. i haven't really written something like this before so apologies if there are mistakes, i followed the guide myself on a clean server and it seems correct but as we all know 'works on my machine' is usually not enough
