That you think Gajim looks like it was build in 2001 tells me you haven’t used XMPP in quite a while 😅

The Signal foundation also controls the ends, as they control the official clients and can push encryption breaking updates to end user devices; in cooperation with Google/Apple even to selected devices of individual people which makes this nearly impossible to detect.

Well, I think XMPP or Snikket is worth a try and definitely more reliable than Matrix, but you might also want to look at DeltaChat.

Mumble is nice, but it hasn’t changed much since the time people explicitly moved away from it to Discord, so why would they go back it it now?

Yes, but it isn’t a Discord replacement, but rather a WhatsApp replacement.

https://movim.eu/ is xmpp based and might be more suitable as a Discord replacement, but to be honest it isn’t quite there yet if you are looking mainly for a voice chat app.

Last time I tried they also worked mostly with Akkoma (which is the nicer software).

Me opens link expecting vibe-coded slop… and indeed it seems to be vibe-coded slop 🤷

You might be confusing the old OpenID with OIDC (short for Open ID Connect), which is based on Oauth2, an entirely different technology.

OpenID was definitely more decentralized compared to how OIDC is commonly used these days, but OIDC has various little know options to do similar things.

OIDC isn’t “innately centralized”, thats just how the majority of people use it. And the same will be likely true for FedCM.

Extremely annoyed at users that think everyone has iOS phones, when most of the world have Android. Thinking that the US is the only relevant place means you have serious tunnel vision. /s

Oh and blame Apple. They are extremely hostile to open-source devs publishing apps on their platform.

Sounds good, but this FedCM seems to be basically a reinvention of Oauth2/OIDC. Even if it brings some minor improvements (credentials storage in the browser or so?), it seems dead on arrival given that there doesn’t seem to be a strong dissatisfaction with how OIDC works. Or am I missing something?

Probably a bad idea to congest the limited bandwidth of Tor with voice chat.

But you do realize that DeltaChat also received a quite significant amount of money from the US Open Technology Fund over its course of development and to this day it is somewhat unclear how they fund what seems to be several full time developers?

The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

That’s from Mozilla, another AI company…

The first three on this list can do it: https://joinjabber.org/docs/apps/android/

Explanation here: https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/unifiedpush/

If you use ntfy mainly as a Unified Push distributor on Android, then I highly recommend switching to a XMPP client that can do the same.

https://github.com/lldap/lldap is much simpler.

Good question, but I think you will need to ask the original author.

I recommend Forgejo over Gitea, and you definitely need an AI scraper blocker like Anubis in front of it as otherwise they will kill your VPS rather quickly, as these AI scrapers absolutely love to scrape code forges.
