„Uh-oh“ ist zurück: Fanprojekt will ICQ-Messenger wiederbeleben Der Kult-Messenger ICQ kehrt als inoffizielles Fanprojekt zurück, inklusive UINs, Kontaktliste und „Uh-oh“-Sound. Über die Betreiber ist wenig bekannt. https://www.heise.de/news/Uh-oh-ist-zurueck-Fanprojekt-will-ICQ-Messenger-wiederbeleben-11398962.html?wt_mc=sm.red.ho.mastodon.mastodon.md_beitraege.md_beitraege&utm_source=mastodon #InstantMessaging #IT #Windows #Windows #news

Replying to @brayd@social.brayd.blog
@brayd@social.brayd.blog there is always #matrix but from my experience it is way heavier than xmpp. OMEMO, the XMPP E2E thing, is/was based on the Signal (Axolotl) crypto protocol and probably doesn't work worse than what Matrix gives you in that regard. Both have ample selection on servers and clients these days. Give both a try. #xmpp #omemo #axolotl #e2ee #e2e #matrix #selfhosing #decentralized #instantmessaging

Question for the community. How's y'all's experience with various Instant Messaging services? I don't use discord except with some of my friends, and I'm trying to get away, as it seems to be going the way of enshittification. I've used Matrix before, and I'm aware of some of the technical annoyances as a user. Does it tend to have good community (like, among gay nerdy Mastodon folks at least?). What about the other options, like XMPP clients, or like Delta Chat or something? I believe I've even heard (i might be wrong) that IRC 3 allows for asynchronous texting, so you don't have to be online in order to keep receiving messages that you can read later? Is this a thing? Everytime I look this up, I can't find any good info one way or the other. Even if there's no community, I'm curious what y'all think has the potential to become a somewhat ubiquitous technology among folks on Fedi? I wanna see more Instant Messaging online in these spaces. #askFedi #texting #discord #xmpp #irc #matrix #element #instantMessaging #software

Happy Birthday to #InstantMessaging and #RealTimeCommunication with #XMPP! Emerged from the #Jabber #community in 1999 and originally designed to provide an open and #decentralised alternative to #ICQ and #MSN, XMPP evolved to an independent alternative for todays #chat apps. #rtc #whatsapp #signal
