@kai Well, I do like the #Prosody !XMPP server--easy to set up and works very well, except when it doesn't--but I think I'm going to use #ejabberd next time I set one up.
I don't see me getting mad. However, I'm afraid you haven't actually answered me, just ranted. You still haven't mentioned a single !xmpp client by name, unfortunately.
Also, you said you thought we should make a "federated discord". But then you complain about features of federation as if they were downsides (client versatility, adaptability for various disabilities etc.). You claim centralised antifeatures as something positive.
And you still haven't mentioned a single " obnoxious" !xmpp client. Just that they're all horrible. Despite single-click clients that Just Work(tm) are all over the place. Those are web based of course and work in the field all around us. And are federated, free and open source software. !fs
Discord works for people who don't care about software freedom, privacy and security.
@amic #Prosody is mostly very easy and reliable, but when it doesn't work, there's no easy solution besides waiting for several months until it miraculously starts to work again. You can try #ejabberd, #OpenFire, or (according to a certain account here) #Tigase in those situations. !XMPP
@rw A few family members complain that I can’t see their calendar events, but the biggest annoyance I have with not being a #Facebook user is all the people that say “did you see what cousin so and so just said?” and then stick their phones in my face.
If I wanted to see all that random garbage, I would still have an account.
Yes, but how can we get in touch with you?
Let me count the ways: * call * text * !XMPP * #Wire * #Ring / #Jami * e-mail * in person * contact any of my sons, nephews, siblings, my youngest niece, the cousin that lives in TX, or my mom and ask them to forward
Oh, the #Tigase !XMPP client’s #iOS version is now called #Siskin_IM. I will probably try it out soon. #Monal, my current client, appears to only operate when in the foreground. (Likewise for the #Mutter #IRC client, so that may be an #Apple restriction.)
@tigase You misunderstood my post from December. One individual asked another individual which !XMPP server software the second person had used. I responded with the names of the two that I usually see in the “single user or small group” context. No one was “recommending” software, nor was anyone seeking recommendations. In that context, mentioning #Tigase #XMPP server would have been the wrong thing to do.
Hey !fediverse - there was an (Australian?) !XMPP web front-end that made extensive use of pubsub a couple of years ago. Anyone remember what it was? (I already got a suggestion about "Salut à Toi" but that's too new to be what I was thinking about).
I've forgotten, who's the darkdungeons !xmpp user messaging me? I removed the person from my roster before because I was cleaning out those I haven't communicated with for a long time .)
