Movim offers a feature-packed social and chat alternative to the big centralized and proprietary platforms. 
It is decentralized, fully built on the #XMPP Internet standard and can easily be deployed on a simple web server.
Which social or chat platform do you think Movim replaces the best? 
#alternative #madeineurope #decentralized @european_alternatives
Anybody know of a good alternative to #matrix for #e2ee #decentralized chat?
Consieering #xmpp again. Have tried #jami
#matrix is pretty good but maintaining it is more hassle than I'd like, and my local users don't really benefit from the #federation aspect much.
Just shopping I guess
We're helping people join the open social web.
By showing them that they can:
- Own their community
- Escape the billionaires
- Rediscover what makes social good
What else should we tell them about the open social web? Why do you love it?

I federated this blog
Im officially part of the cool kids club of the decentralized web: I federated this WordPress blog with the ActivityPub Plugin by Matthias Pfefferle @pfefferle. It seems to work: The plugin has created a mastodon profile that anyone can follow. New blogposts are automatically posted there. Not sure if I can comment or reply with that profile. Time to explore. #FediBlog #ActivityPub #WordPress #Decentralized
@gabriel_andres please take a look into #ArcaneChat (https://arcanechat.me) and #DeltaChat (https://delta.chat)
good #decentralized alternatives, user-friendly for family and friends, no phone numbers or any private data required, painless configuration, just set a name and avatar and you are good to go, no SMS verification, no CAPTCHA puzzle solving, no SIM cards, kids can use it, also multiple devices supported without need of main phone device, and in-chat mini-apps! totally #e2ee
Update 20 Mach
While we all wait for improvements to uploads to be rolled out (the latest fix is looking good but was not quite ready for prime time at time of writing) we have a new dev tool to announce. Ant Analyzer is a CLI tool to read and decode addresses on Autonomi Network.

Fred Rocha: How I use Mastodon in 2025. “These are exciting times to be on Mastodon, one of the flavours of the Fediverse. Things are evolving fast, towards a space worthy of healthier online debate and exchange. Some of these conversations can be found on my own profile, if you’re curious. Here are some of the cool things I have discovered Mastodon lets you do. If you’ve found some neat […]

Posting and pinning this because Soatok's misinformation has infected far too many. *Everyone* needs to read this in its entirety, *especially* all the #Signal Kool-Aid drinkers.

@FediThing @nicoco is not advocating giving up. It's a (heavily veiled) criticism of #centralized services like #Signal, which are a tempting and easy target for coercion and backdoors. People who recognize that, push for #decentralized alternatives like #XMPP.
#public #funding of #opensource #critical infrastucture goes a long way.
Read an opinion on how @nlnet's funding of #Python's calendaring stack does not only benefit end users through the #OpenWebCalendar but contributes to a vibrant #digital, #decentralized and self-governed EU #economy. #Collaboration and #competition in the digital market require open-source and public standards.

I am working on a decentralized, peer-to-peer, encrypted #chat written in #Python: https://github.com/FluxChat/fluxchat-py
It uses the #Kademlia algorithm to create an #overlay network. You can even use your existing GPG/PGP keys to join. I am looking forward to adding a #GUI, because currently it only has a #terminal interface and HTTP #API. And also to write the client/server part in #Zig. #E2E #P2P #TLS #decentralized #Decentralization #endtoend #TUI #DHT
