Anybody knows what I should do to enable push notifications on #monal? My ejabberd shows as compliant with XEP-0357: Push Notifications on compliance.conversations.im/ but the messages don't reach the phone when the app is closed

#xmpp #jabber

Please :boost_ok: for reach

Yes, that are different trade-offs, depending on personal preferences.

E.g. for me, the most important aspect is (relative!) #digitalSovereignty from #bigTech (Signal is on AWS/Google).

I also need a good client for my Linux OS (Signal only has firstclass clients for Android/iOS).

Finally, I feel uncomfortable using my phone number as id.

In return, I'm accepting more private data to be stored on the #Jabber server run by my local Internet club.

@daniel

You seem to imply that we have to choose between:

- a safer space that has a strong CoC, a mediation process, wants to encourage diversity/inclusivity/plurality of opinions, wants to actively seek and include 2slgbtqia+ people in its decision making.

- an Organization that have/want none of these.

I would much rather have a community that knows a bit less of XMPP but will get better over time in a safe space.

@markus

There is no such thing as "neutral" or for "everyone" or "apolitical".

As communities and organizations we always choose who we want to include. For example:

- Include capitalist companies, to the exclusion of the community
- Some people have all the power, while people doing the work have none.
- male/tech-bro (often queerphobic) dominated culture to the exclusion of everybody else.

In JoinJabber we want to say openly who we include, not hide it 🙂

We want to instead enable 2SLGBTQIA+ people to be directly involved by:
- create stuff that they need without needing approval from people that do not have their experience (most often cishet people)
- Block and/or reform proposals/features/documentation or anything else that is excluding them or makes it harder for them to exist
- advocate for things that benefit them by participating in decision making.

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.

You do not have to use the JoinJabber CoC, there are other CoCs listed there and both JoinJabber and all the CoCs there list other CoCs with their inspiration. So you can use whichever one you want or adapt them.

That said *please*:
- do not use the XSF CoC or the GNU Kind communication guidelines, it does not have adequate protections or is actively harmful in the case of GNU guidelines.
- just a "be nice" or a short list of "don't spam" or "don't be an asshole" is not a CoC.

Moderators/owners of XMPP rooms and communities, lets all work together to built healthier and safer communities in XMPP.

XMPP has been suffering for a while from not being inclusive and not having sustainable moderation.

If we want to promote or encourage people and communities to use XMPP we need to first do the work in our communities to do better.

Please see the JoinJabber criteria for listing rooms and try to follow them as much as you can.

Inviting the #Fediverse to join another #Jabber / #XMPP channel I co-moderate - the #BlackLivesMatter channel! Another initiative by the wonderful @maskedwitch

You can join without a client or an account! Just visit - https://chat.queer-spark.org/#/guest?join=blm@conference.queer-spark.org

But for the best experience, I recommend using a proper client. The easiest way is to install Quicksy or Prāv, if you don’t mind using your phone number. Alternatively, install one or more of the following, and use them to register an account on conversations.im (see https://providers.xmpp.net or https://compliance.conversations.im/old for more server recommendations) -

…when you’re set up, open this link to join the channel! https://invite.joinjabber.org/#blm@conference.queer-spark.org?join

If you’re new to XMPP (e.g. coming from #WhatsApp #Matrix #IRC #Signal #Telegram #Discord etc), this guide has everything you need to get started - https://contrapunctus.codeberg.page/the-quick-and-easy-guide-to-xmpp.html

Pub/sub systems have a long history, actually going back to 1987. And they are a common concept in #XMPP (aka #Jabber). There was even a distributed social network built on top of XMPP #PubSub about 10 years ago.
