What feature in Conversations are you looking forward to the most?
#XMPP #Jabber #Conversations_im #Android
conversations_im
#Conversations_im is now available for free on Google Play until August 18th.
Whenever there is a conference with a strong #XMPP presence, I like to make the app available for free to make it easier for attendees to install the app and give XMPP a shot.
I'm attending #FOSSY and #FrOSCon this weekend and next.

⚠️ 🚨 It’s time to stop using Blabber.im 🚨⚠️
The abandoned fork of #Conversations_im has a critical security issue: attackers can bypass STARTTLS negotiation, resulting in an unencrypted connection to a fake server. This vulnerability is similar to the STARTLS attack discovered in various email clients¹
✅ Fixed in Conversations 2.13.1 (Feb 2024)
📢 Please migrate to Conversations immediately! It's free on Google Play until the end of the year and always free on #fdroid
I love open source, and I want young people to know there’s a career path outside of #FAANG. Open source can be financially sustainable—it just gets super hard if one of your key goals is making your investors even richer. #Conversations_im is about the same age as #Matrix. I never took VC funding, and I’m doing fine.
I don’t usually do this kind of evangelism, but if you’re looking for a reason to try #XMPP on #GlobalSwitchDay, now’s the perfect time: #Conversations_im is currently free on Google Play!

The only relevant feature for any instant messaging app (or social app, for that matter) is: Are my friends using it? People will gladly overlook minor inconsistencies or missing features as long as they can communicate with their friends. We shouldn’t recommend #Signal as a stepping stone before Jabber/XMPP becomes "good enough," if goodness is defined by the number of people using it.
On my recent #Lufthansa flight, I noticed their free messaging plan on FlyNet Wi-Fi allows #XMPP traffic (likely via port 5223), but HTTP uploads were blocked. So, I added a new feature to #Conversations_im that lets users retry failed uploads via Jingle P2P file transfer, which will fall back to IBB if needed. Can’t wait to test it on the return flight! ✈️

Absolutely nobody knows what an XMPP address is, so just go ahead and call it a:
#XMPP #Conversations_im #Jabber
Options: (choose one)
More #xmpp spam coming in these days 😿.
How can I get #conversations_im and #gajim and #dino_im to notice from each other when I blocked a user?
Currently I have to block and close the same annoying spam chat on each device / in each app separately. Is that normal or should I complain to my server admin? (*duck*).
I can't be the first one wishing for an XEP for this 😉.
@daniel ?
Conversations is now permanently available for free on Google Play.
Google doesn’t deserve me and my money anymore.
