@ulfi I can relate, as I recently tried out #monal for #iPadOS. While praiseworthy for being the honest effort that it is, it doesn't have anywhere the bling-bling that the other chat apps have.

At this time, emoji reactions don't work yet in Monal, so with that shortcoming alone, I can't recommend #XMPP to any of the #Apple followers in my life. They almost certainly have high expectations for any new apps, for such functionality

#Monal by @Monal is working at improving their UI and adding reactions and replies

monal-im.org · New NLNet FundingWe are pleased to announce that we got selected in another funding round by the EU’s NGI via the NLnet Foundation NGI0 Entrust Fund to work on some important features in Monal. In short this consists of the following tasks (in no special order). Implement Dialpad: Add Dialpad to our Call-UI and backend code to be able to send DTMF tones in A/V calls. This will make Monal fully compatible with jmp.chat, like Snikket is already. Rewrite Chat UI: Our current chat UI is still UIKit-based and it’s hard to improve it or fix some UI glitches. We want to rewrite and modernize the whole chat UI using SwiftUI. This will not only simplify maintenance a lot and allow us to fix these UI glitches, but also enable us to implement modern XMPP features like message reactions, message styling, message replies or mentions. UI work: Implement Message Reactions, Rich Replies and Stickers: Implement UI and backend for message reactions (XEP-0444), rich replies (XEP-0461) and Stickers, once the chat UI is ported to SwiftUI XSF work: After having successfully worked on the SASL2 XEP-suite, I want to modernize XEP-0389: Extensible In-Band Registration to also send only password hashes instead of cleartext passwords (similar to password upgrades specced in XEP-0480: SASL Upgrade Tasks) Write documentation of Monal internals: After having started to publish a blog series and wiki articles about Monal’s internals (beginning with the Handlers Framework), I want to publish blog and wiki articles on our XML query-language (intentionally based on the XPath-like syntax of Prosody’s query language), the PubSub/PEP framework, Model-Classes used as data sources for our UI (MLContact, MLMessage etc.) and possibly more. Thanks again to NLNet for fund this!

Es gibt sehr viele gute Software. In der Familie sind für uns XMPP Clients ganz wichtig. Wir verwenden diese zum chatten, telefonieren, video calls.

In der Familie wird meist der Andorid Client #Conversations verwendet oder #Monal für iOS. Ich selber verwende #profanity und #gajim. Die Kinder verwenden #dino.

Die Server #prosody und #ejabberd dürfen auch nicht fehlen.

Vielen Dank an die XMPP Community!

Hi @KileyT@mastodon.social welcome,
This is a complicated topic all in all.

Signal is much much better then any other centalized chat provider out there, well there is threema too, which is comparable and not located in a country that has a fashist coup currently.
The main critic on centralized services like signal is, that is is in fact one central entity and you have to trust them and all data of every user goes through that single vendor. Signal does some things to minimize the data they know about you, but in the end they still have data of all connections of every user and it wouldn't be hard to deanonymize users and also who talks to who, if the server were compromised. (still better then whatsapp, since they use the data for marketing now and not hypothetically)

With xmpp you don't have to trust a single entity. You still have to trust your server operator, but you can choose them yourself (or be them yourself). You also can choose your client (the program you use to interact)
That's about it.

If you want a foot in the door of a federated service like xmpp without the initial friction, you can use quicksy, it is in the apple store too and it is nearly monal, but you register with your phone number and people can find you like the do with whatsapp and signal. But you register again on only one server.
But normal monal users or users with other clients (on android the client could be "conversations" for example) can still talk to you from any server.

If you use monal they need to know your xmpp ID ( name@servername.org ), same as an email address.

You could find some curated list of recommended servers at https://joinjabber.org/docs/servers/
Selfhosting is an option too, or managed selfhosting, they have some links for that too.
If you are already registered you can find some public rooms at https://search.jabber.network

It isn't easy to start with this. Signal is still better then many others. But if you want to go on with the xmpp adventure it would be great 👍😀

After taking a closer look at #XMPP clients for the #linux desktop, there's this frustrating "tie" for finding a favorite.

#Dino, which is likeable for being able to do video and audio calls, only has limited support for multi-user chat (complete with fancy moderation tools). These audio and video calls it can do are AMD64-only at this time.

#Gajim, which is likeable for being able to do multi-user chat well (with great moderation tools), alas, can't do audio and video calls to the other XMPP clients (like, say, #Conversations, as they use a newer #WebRTC-based method now).

So there's this strange situation where one is tempted to use both at the same time.

My takeaway is that #Conversations for #Android is the only xmpp client that I would possibly and carefully recommend to family and friends at this time, as it can cover all of the above. (#Monal on #iOS/#MacOS only has "partial" support for Multi-user chat, BTW.)

Yes I'm aware of the existence of Snikket, Quicksy, and Prav. No need to chime in on those.

@mastodonmigration Obligatory reminder that #Signal relies on a centralized and proprietary server, and does not belong here.

Users of #WhatsApp #Telegram #Discord #Signal and #Threema etc should use #XMPP instead, which is #FreeSoftware and federated.

Users - check out #Quicksy (Android and iOS), #Prav, #Conversations, #Cheogram, #MonoclesChat, #Gajim, #Movim, #Monal...

Self-hosters, check out #Snikket.
