Reviews and mentions

• Does XMPP support video conferencing?

  https://movim.eu/ is even compatible (i tried myself) with conversations, snikket and others... webrtc p2p videoconferencing within xmpp...

• IETF should keep XMPP as IM standard, instead of Matrix

  I'd suggest taking a look at Movim: https://movim.eu/

  It takes an appropriately set up xmpp server and essentially reproduces a social network. Microblogs, groups, and chat. Implements OMEMO and the like if memory serves. It is a great platform and just as compelling as Discord IMO.

  As OMEMO is now part of Movim master and that the main working features are working I'm considering this ticket as solved.

  Hi! Glad to see XMPP on the HN first page this morning :)

  I'm working on a social-network and IM web platform (for 12 years already!), fully built on XMPP https://movim.eu/.

  Thanks to its extensibility and the PubSub XMPP standard you can easily build social-network like features. The standard is pretty simple, it's Atom 1.0 transport within PubSub.

  For those that likes RSS/Atom you can also easily publish Atom newsfeed to PubSub (see https://github.com/edhelas/atomtopubsub) and follow your favorite website using your XMPP account and with real-time pushed articles. Here is ArsTechnica as an example https://mov.im/?node/news.movim.eu/ArsTechnica

  XMPP is not only for IM, but way more than that ;)

  Gajim and Dino both work on Windows and Linux and support most features you'd expect (Gajim is mature, Dino is a newer project and Windows support is still experimental). There is also Movim, a web client.

  >What about iOS?

  [Siskin] [1] seems to be the best client for iOS right now. It's not as good as Conversations.

  >What about desktop?

  I am pretty happy with beagle (OSX) [2], Dino (Linux) [3] and Gajim (linux, windows, OSX) [4]. If in-browser is your thing, converse.js [5] or movim [6] come to mind.

  >What if I don't want to run my own XMPP server?

  Use quicksy.im?

  Yes, not just that. Not only there are plenty of services already that implementing ActivityPub, there are also social networks on top of XMPP, the IndieWeb folks who show that plain-old www is already a "decentralized social network", there are social networks that can even work in an offline-first world.

• Modern XMPP

  I'd be really interested to hear the authors' take(s) on movim - is this under the umbrella of "modern" and are they involved?

  https://movim.eu/

  I love their social networking features and have periodically used their nodes but I've never managed to get family and friends on board. I suspect easier clients would be key there, but last I checked (2015, admittedly) server support for movim wasn't great.

  Regarding the IM/Slack alternatives you can maybe consider adding Movim ( https://movim.eu/ ). Fully based on XMPP with plenty of features already packed in. It can easily be deployed on a simple web-server.
