Monal, to iOS German

Our iOS app got banned from the Chinese appstore because it is able to influence public opinion or is "Capable of Social Mobilization".

See our blog post for details: https://monal-im.org/post/00010-ios-banned/

I think at this point it's worth thinking about why we need text chats and voice/video calls integrated with each other like what (try to), , and do

Why not just go back to or something like for text, and something like for calls like the old days ​:sagume_think:​

Monal,

@debacle you forgot to list monal in your list of clients supporting a/v calls ;)

Monal, to iOS German

We just had our first video call between #Conversations and @Monal 😊

Now only a proper video call UI is missing.

Have you convinced a full normie to #XMPP? How has it gone? Were there any problems or need of being help desk? Why is "ok" Monal the best client for iOS?

Monal,

Monal,

@fuesstest @mms Out of curiosity, what exactly bothers you about #Monal? We support chatting, voice calls and have proper push messages.

Monal, to iOS

If anyone wants to meet #monal (#xmpp on #ios / #macos) at #37c3, write us a DM

Do I have to give another talk on how push notifications work? With @Mer__edith of @signalapp spreading lies and news outlets like @heiseonline amplifying their nonsense I feel like their is a lot of confusion out there on how push works. Google’s push notifications aren’t delivered by fairy dust and don’t consume any battery.

TLDR: You can de-google your phone. Install Conversations. It is the only app running in background. It will use #UnifiedPush to wake up other apps like Tusky and Ltt.rs.

Monal,

@thinkerer @daniel
Well, given that many #xmpp clients use libsignal (https://github.com/signalapp/libsignal-protocol-c/) written by Signal as base for OMEMO, means that OMEMO is at least as tested and mature as Signal is ;)

More than that: XMPP is quite mature protocol wise, is standardized for > 20 years and used in many different fields (including military) and is even used by both, apple and google to implement push (surprise ;)). Even Zoom (and WhatsApp) etc. use XMPP as underlying protocol.

I'm delighted to announce that #Libervia has received a new grant from #NLnet #NGI0 to develop an #email <=> #XMPP gateway.

This project will not only convert normal messages but also transform mailing lists into #pubsub based forums. It includes UI/UX enhancements on Libervia, end-to-end encryption, and advanced handling of attachments.

More at: https://nlnet.nl/project/EmailXMPPgateway/

Monal,

@Goffi may I ask: when did you apply for this grant?

Monal, to iOS German

We just released a new beta with several fixes to our audio call implementation, introducing compatibility with #dino calls in both directions.

Monal, to random German

We just released our first beta featuring audio calls between #Monal and other clients (most notably #Conversations).

As always test it and let us know if something doesn't work as expected :)

What is a good #xmpp #client for #mobile #iOS / #iphones ?

  • must support #omemo

  • must receive messages reliably (and not only once you open the app)

  • preferably #floss

Suggestions?

Your reply might safe some kids from joining #facebook aka #whatsapp . 😉

Monal,

@jabberati @Billie there is currently an ejabberd bug that prevents s2s connections for some time after one of the servers restarted.

I don't know if you are running ejabberd, but at least our pushservers are running ejabberd so that could be the reason for the intermediate push outage you experienced.

Monal,

@jabberati yax.im is prosody

og, to random

What’s a good #XMPP app for iOS ? If any?

Monal,

@og @Montalvo If you want to try Monal, use the latest beta (https://monal-im.org/install/) :) It has better OMEMO support, several UI fixes and more :)

Monal, to random German

Friendly reminder: please use the new inbuilt crash reporting facility to report crashes in

We apparently don't receive crash reports sent through Apple's mechanisms anymore and in the past those were not really useful anyways because they lacked many viable informations.
