XMPP is as encrypted-by-default as Matrix. Specifically, encrypted-by-default is a property of the app rather than the protocol.

It's fine to not use/recommend apps that don't encrypt by default, but not using XMPP because they exist is like not using the modern web because some legacy browsers still use HTTP.

FWIW, easy-to-use + encrypted-by-default apps + lightweight self-hostable server describes well what we're building at @snikket_im

Anyone looking for a #decentralized, #private, and #secure instant messenger should check out #XMPP. Its a protocol for IM and much more.

Happy Monday! We just published a new blog post announcing upcoming #NGI/NLnet-funded work to advance authentication/authorization in Prosody and #XMPP: https://blog.prosody.im/modern-xmpp-auth/

In short: look forward to practical 2FA, per-client access permissions, the ability to grant/revoke access for specific clients on your XMPP account, and more!

Gajim 1.4.0 has been released 🚀

After more than a year of development, it’s finally time to announce the release of Gajim 1.4.0! 🎉

Gajim 1.4 series comes with a completely redesigned message window and conversation management. Workspaces allow you to organize your chats to keep matters separate where needed. These changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you.

So, apparently @peertube now has live chat built into it through a an official plugin (you can see a screenshot below).

The plugin has a github at https://github.com/JohnXLivingston/peertube-plugin-livechat

It was announced on the PeerTube blog back in November at https://joinpeertube.org/news#live-plugin-app

The chat doesn't require an account, you just pick a nickname and start chatting.

The #XMPP community now has its own federated @LemmyDev instance!

Check it out at https://community.xmpp.net/

https://providers.xmpp.net/ finally is online:

"The project also provides the evaluation machine-readable. Client developers can integrate them in their applications. We approach this topic from a user-centric perspective and question what enables a good first start with #XMPP when possibly coming from other environments.
We created a separate website to present the results in a nice view. That way, it is convenient to read them. Feel free to take a look: https://providers.xmpp.net"
