@simendsjo @jackdaniel #XMPP has all those features, and there's a fairly big #Lisp / #Scheme / #CommonLisp channel there - xmpp.link/#lisp@conference.a3.

It might not have everything that #Discord does, but it's vastly better than #IRC. And there's a cost to using #proprietary and #centralized services, which people constantly forget about in chasing convenience and shiny features.

Here's a guide to help you get started.

@apps That’s awesome. I think the URIs are supposed to look like this: web+activitypub:toot.fedilab.app/@apps (Notice the absence of //)

Maybe @jenniferplusplus can chime in to clarify? Maybe also something to be more explicit about in the FEP.

I know that over a decade we had both variants in the #XMPP world and that turned out to be a mess when parsing (Correct in the XMPP world is without the //)

There are no known security issues with "Siacs OMEMO" / OMEMO v0.3¹ despite of what some very loud Signal fans would like you to believe. It has been audited by a third party² who took a longer look at it than all of the Signal fans combined.

Yes, #OMEMO v0.7+ (or TWOMEMO 😜) is a cleaner spec with more features (most notably Stanza Content Encryption). That’s why we wrote it. I’m a co-author. That doesn’t mean v0.3 is insecure.

@lproven Sadly it's not only the companies not supporting #XMPP anymore, but also the client ecosystem becoming more and more degraded.

For example, on Mac there used to be a bunch of well maintained OSS clients, like #AdiumX. These are more or less gone, with a few exceptions like #BeagleIM and #MonalIM. Might be a different situation on Linux though...

This is sad. For me XMPP on its high was the pinnacle of IM.

The XMPP Software Foundation has published an open letter to Meta, asking them to support true messaging interoperability using the XMPP protocol.

Meta had previously integrated this protocol, and WhatsApp is actually built on XMPP for its message routing system.

We support this initiative as it represents the best approach for genuine interoperability. Federation is the way to go !

It’s time for real interoperability. Let’s make it happen.

The #DMA targets walled gardens and messaging interoperability. Meta, the designated gatekeeper, offers an solution that falls short of its goals.

The XMPP Standards Foundation (@xmpp) publishes an Open Letter to Meta, to advocate for adoption of #XMPP for messaging interoperability.
