In a world where we can video call someone across the globe in a heartbeat, let's nostalgically pretend writing letters to strangers is still relevant. ✍️📮 Because nothing screams "cutting-edge communication" like waiting weeks for a letter when you could just text. 😂📱

If IRC is ancient and Matrix is too complex - there is XMPP (Jabber) in the middle ground.

My drawing to illustrate the stupid situation with #instantmessaging app that doesn't allow the users (us) to chat.
It's about control and not security.

Instant Messenger Sovereignty : I wish to use #Threema but my contact list is empty. Therefore I use either #SignalMessenger which is a US non-profit with business model based on donations or I use #RakutenViber which HQ is based in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 and servers in Cyprus 🇨🇾 I would like to mention #Treebal 🇪🇺🇫🇷 that is only missing audio call for private users to be perfect #instantmessaging #messenger

I first installed an XMPP server back when it was Jabber over 20 years ago, and I remember chatting to people on Google Talk, before they decided to do their own thing. Having just installed Prosody (#XMPP) and Tuwunel (#Matrix) servers, both of which are excellent, I am personally of the opinion that XMPP is a lot more sensible.

In Russia, Telegram is increasingly restricted. The messenger also faces fines. But the Telegram CEO does not want to yield to the increased pressure.

Unfortunately none of those shiny alternatives help me. #InstantMessaging is only of use if there's somebody I could write to. And the vast majority of my contacts stubbornly refuses to use anything else than #WhatsApp 🙄 So I guess I'll stay stuck in that damn monopoly trap for quite a while 🤷

What is anno 2026 better for instant messaging? Think about the best combination of user experience/friendliness, privacy and security. I choose these two after researching decentralized Whatsapp/Signal alternatives.

I don’t think this is “Old man shouting at cloud” - it’s a different (more lively) way of being
& it’s good to read about it. 🙂 Expands our possibilities.Pushed me to look up IRC (Internet Relay Chat) (seen the acronym often but never knew what it stands for, but pretty sure it wasn’t International Red Cross 🫢). Learn that it’s a “text-based chat system for instant messaging… designed for group communication in discussion forums [channels] but also allows one-on-one communication via private messages as well as chat and data transfer including file sharing.
[more here incl. refs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC]Say it again: Expands our possibilities. 😁

@Catelli actually, #email (#SMTP + #IMAP) can totally be used for #InstantMessaging it is not the protocols it is the specific email providers and "big fishes" like #gmail and #Outlook the ones that put extra limitations on top like graylisting etc. with #ArcaneChat and #DeltaChat you can have sub-second (#ENCRYPTED) email delivery

Any suggestions for a replacement for AWS SNS for SMS messages tied to our self-hosted server monitoring?

Briar Messenger does something similar it has three modes Internet (Tor) WiFi and Bluetooth, WiFi and Bluetooth can apparently be used to create mesh networks in crowds even when the internet is out
Meshtastic also does something similar but requires a custom lora radio node to be in range and basically only has the bandwidth for texting
of course both FLOSS and E2EE
