Yesterday, I quickly put together a tutorial on how to replace ntfy.sh with a minimal, self-hosted XMPP server and published it as a GitHub Gist. Then I remembered I have a website and reworked it into two nice little posts:

They deliberately engineered social media to be addictive to sell more ads. It’s pointless to talk about the symptoms while ignoring the underlying cause: a deeply flawed economic system that relies on you buying more shit than you need.

Twitter is turning 20 years old this month and we are slowly starting to have a debate about social media regulation (in the form of age restrictions).

I’m looking forward to discussing if and how we should regulate generative AI around 2045.

Historically, events like Meta announcing ads in WhatsApp haven’t significantly impacted #Conversations_im download numbers. This time feels different. February saw double the installs of a typical month. It seems the sentiment against Big Tech is finally translating into action.

Every setting has a cost, both in terms of code complexity and the user's ability to understand how an app works. We never introduce a setting for no reason, and occasionally it's good to reevaluate the trade-offs we made.

I’m considering removing explicit Tor support in #Conversations_im. It seems that nowadays—12 years after I first introduced the feature—VPN mode is how most people use #Orbot, and many other apps lack a dedicated "proxy via Tor" setting anyway. Let’s do a vibe check with the following poll:

It’s been almost a decade since I wrote a blog post on the State of Mobile XMPP in 2016. Time to start working on an update.

The situation has only improved since then, and #XMPP has matured into a solid, feature-rich protocol for federated instant messaging

An #XMPP sprint has just been announced for June 2026 in the Berlin offices of Wikimedia Germany. I will definitely put that on my calendar. Last year was great fun. Thank you @debacle@framapiaf.org.

What I love about #Conversations_im as a #UnifiedPush distributor—aside from #XMPP being a reliable, secure, and efficient protocol—is that it comes with a healthy dose of decentralization.

Sure, you can technically self-host a Sunup instance, but will you? XMPP already offers thousands of providers out of the box.

RE: @django@social.coop

Dear #Fediverse developers, please do more cool things with #ActivityPub C2S.

Just note that "Direct Messaging apps" are way more complex than you might realize and that #XMPP has solved most of the problems you might encounter.

There are many good reasons (Bind 2, SASL 2, Occupant IDs, MUC avatars) to ensure your @ejabberd@social.process-one.net server is up to date.
Here is another one:

There are IM apps mostly pushed by a few loud enthusiasts on Mastodon, and then there is #XMPP, which is used in the real world. For example: • Evacuating people from battlefields in Afghanistan: That’s XMPP. • Shipping metric fuck tons of cocaine across the globe: That’s XMPP. #ThatsXMPP #Jabber

Unfortunately spam and abuse - like anywhere on the Internet - can be a problem in public channels on the Jabber/XMPP network.
That's why the next version of #Conversations_im is combining ban and message deletion (moderation) into one step.

Let's hope you won't need that functionality very often.

Heute ist #DiDay

Der Digital Independence Day ist eine tolle Initiative, deren Werte wir zu 100% teilen. Die Empfehlung für Signal ist allerdings ein Schritt in die falsche Richtung und treibt Nutzer von einem geschlossenen System in ein anderes.

Zum Glück gibt es auch Wechselrezepte für die Independent Messaging Apps #Quicksy, #Monal und #Conversations_im, die wirkliche Souveränität bieten.

Ein Wechsel zu Quicksy ist genauso einfach wie ein Wechsel zu Signal.

Happy Jabber Day 🎂 🥳

On January 4, 1999, Jabber was first announced to the public¹.

Twenty-seven years later, Jabber—or XMPP, as it became known after standardization through the #IETF—remains the only truly vendor-independent, federated instant messaging platform.

In almost three decades, XMPP has never stopped evolving and remains our best tool for digital independence.
