The EU is mandating messaging apps be compatible with each other, but the current plan is looking less like #federation and more like "register your chat app with Meta, send them all your data, and link with their prescribed APIs that they may decide to change any day"
At the risk of preaching to the converted, here's @guusdk advocating for *real* interoperability between messaging apps, using an existing, battle-tested, #IETF-backed standard: #XMPP!
As it turns out, I still can’t exactly recommend XMPP as a communication platform. I know a lot of people here on the Fediverse like and even prefer it to other platforms like Matrix, but it just doesn’t work reliably for me. Not years ago and not now.
I just opened the XMPP client on my other device, navigated to a public room (group chat) I’m a part of, and the last three days’ worth of messages didn’t show up. Why? I don’t know.
This room’s information says it should be ‘Persistent’ and ‘Archiving’. Maybe the messages are archived, but not shared to all of the room members’ devices. Maybe the room needs an extra setting to do that. Or maybe it already does that, but only if the client and the server both support XMPP Extension number 4,872 (Self-Propagating Persistent Messages, version 2). :gutkato_ŝultrumas:
It could just be this one room. It could be that the there are better clients that would inform me about this missing feature, but this one doesn’t. But as it stands, I apparently can’t just use XMPP and trust I’ll get to see the messages people sent me. With Matrix, I can. Sure, there might be a problem with encryption, but at least I’ll know someone tried to say something. :gutkato_ĝengrimacas:

Happy Pride Month!! 🏳️⚧️️🏳️🌈️💜️
Its no secret that historically XMPP has done/is doing a bad job as an ecosystem and protocol to develop features that aid 2SLGBTQIA+ people to be their true selves or protect them from abuse.
With Pride Month happening we are taking the next step after creating our own CoC and advocating for CoCs to be adopted. Historically 2SLGBTQIA+ people have been "advisors" or just an opinion to listen to.

Finally I have a post for you #XMPP fans! 🚀🎉 I want your advise. 🙏🏻
I want to run a XMPP server for only myself. I will run it on a Debian 12 vps with Nginx and Postgresql.
If I check https://xmpp.org/software/?platform=linux I see eight listed.
So finally I'm looking for this:
* easy to install, easy to update, but no Docker, just cli
* regularly updated
* e2e enforced (or at least default)
* light on resources
Any ideas?
