Do you use XMPP?
Howdy, please share your XMPP clients (and server software if any). 
💬 ☎️ 
Boosts are very appreciated.

Hi @wiler, are you from Ukraine? If so, nice to have a new friend from Ukraine, and I pray for this war to end.
@ademalsasa I'm using XMPP with Conversations on mobile and Gajim/Dino on Desktop.
My homeserver is trashserver.net which has been great so far 👍
@ademalsasa xmpp.mastodon.radio
@ademalsasa Use it but not regularly because there arent any interesting groups or important contacts. Also Group management is just better at Matrix/Element.
@ademalsasa XMPP server Snikket. Gajim.
@archos hi, Archos. Long time no see.
@ademalsasa A lot of work, but I'm here every day 😊
@archos nice, nice, wish you the best.
@ademalsasa Thank you very much, likewise.
@ademalsasa I use monocles chat on mobile and Dino/Gajim on desktop :)
@ademalsasa Server: Ejabberd. Clients: Gajim and Conversations, I recommend Monal to whoever happens to use iOS.
@ademalsasa I use conversations at the mobile and dino at the desktop
@ademalsasa I tried, setting up a client on a single-board tiny computer (rpi like), but configuring everything to work like I wanted to (offline presence, ability to send media) was too difficult (or rather, more difficult than the time and effort I wanted to invest)
I now use deltachat, signal, and mattermost mostly
@ademalsasa of course I meant a server, not a client 😳
@ademalsasa Dino on desktop, Conversations on Android. My self-hosted server.
Clients:
- @gajim (on Linux and Windows)
- @dino on Linux
- #conversations on Android (including android compatibility layer on #SailfishOS)
- #Shmoose and builtin Messages (sadly, extremely limited) on #SailfishOS native.
"No, I do not use XMPP"
Unfortunately, no longer since a few years.
But I would **love** to, because interoperability would save the world!
@benoitb thanks, I've got a new friend, and a new knowledge thanks to your comment.
@ademalsasa Gajim and Conversations!
@catswhocode thanks for your recommendation. If you would like to contact, I'm at purplesky@movim.eu.
@ademalsasa you're welcome! I think I will! (I like to do interviews for my blog, speaking of which!)
@ademalsasa I also use it with https://kalli.st but that's the provider not the client, per se 😈
@ademalsasa I use XMPP but I'm not impressed. Lots of spam. I switched to magicbroccoli.de as a server, because it offers more privacy.
@ademalsasa And Conversations as a client.
@sergeant hi Ruben, long time no see. Nice to meet you again.
@ademalsasa Please help me refresh my memory.
@sergeant thanks for this recommendation.
@ademalsasa

Hey, I'm from Ukraine too 
@wiler
@ademalsasa @tohich @wiler
Don't forget about me guys 
@ademalsasa i dont use xmpp...
i use matrix ;p
@hacknorris @ademalsasa The good news is that you still have the XMPP address "nick#matrix.domain.ldt@matrix.org". Sadly Matrix.org does only implement a small subset of the XMPP standard so you won't have encrypted messages or A/V calls etc.
@kaip e- WHAAAAT ?!
@kaip then my xmpp ping is
hacknorris#chat.mstdn.social@matrix.org ... or smth... o.O
aria-net.org supports a bit more stuff afaik
However, I think there are fundamental problems regarding trying to implement XEPs that require E2EE;
@KitKat @hacknorris @ademalsasa The fundamental problem is that XMPP is the long standing official IETF internet standard for real-time messaging and Matrix is some custom thing by some startup which does not build or improve on any existing standards. Interoperability comes from agreeing on standards. Incompatibility and fragmentation come from ignoring everything you didn't invent and starting from scratch because you know better.
sighs... typical XMPP whining
"Interoperability comes from agreeing on standards."
I am waiting for XMPP people to do this:
- agree on a standard instead of publishing random XEPs
- encrypted chat with IRC users
"Matrix is some custom thing by some startup which does not build or improve on any existing standards. "
Matrix is currently the most popular standard for decentralized instant messaging :)
@KitKat @hacknorris @ademalsasa You can either have an extensible protocol, an outdated one or a protocol with only a single implementation. XEPs are necessary and ideally how XMPP software achieves interoperability.
IRC users typically don't use E2EE, but it's possible using OTR or OpenPGP, which are supported by some IRC clients as well as some XMPP clients.
Matrix is not a standard in the first place, so it's certainly not the most popular one.
> You can either have an extensible protocol, an outdated one or a protocol with only a single implementation.
please understand that extensibility and agreeing on a standard is orthogonal
"IRC users typically don't use E2EE, but it's possible using OTR or OpenPGP, which are supported by some IRC clients as well as some XMPP clients."
wake me up once IRC users can join encrypted XMPP rooms and vice versa
"Matrix is not a standard in the first place, so it's certainly not the most popular one."

@ademalsasa Metronome server that comes with the default yunohost install. Conversations on android and profanity on my Pinephone.
@ademalsasa currently hosting canchat.org and using conversations.I'm/Dino as a client.
@ademalsasa ejabberd for my own Server and Konversation and Dino as Clients.
But i am thinking of purging the server as i am using it less and less. Matrix is getting mich bigger and it has many more features
Mobile: Conversations
Desktop: Dino + Gajim
Server: Prosody
Also some custom stuff like an expanded e2e_policy module ( https://rnd.phryk.net/phryk-evil-mad-sciences-llc/mod_e2e_policy )
and a custom Flask site to handle onboarding (invites, dynamic client install guides, …)
Code: https://rnd.phryk.net/phryk-evil-mad-sciences-llc/xmpp-site
Site: https://chat.phryk.net
The service isn't public yet, but hopefully will be in a couple days.^^

I use Movim at desktop and Conversations at mobile.
