> Hi there ! So... Ready to catch all Whatsapp ex-users ? ;) > did anybody prepare a blog post? commteam? From Ops :)

Can you ask them to provide some suggestion what to say? then we can run a tweet and so on

neox: > Chapril prepares a post on mastodon via @aprilorg And I've ask him if we can umm borrow it :))

I prefer to collect what we should say and based on this create a statement

but we can retweet it ofcourse too

emus: maybe also a blog post?

_XMPP; Whatsapp alternative since 1999_

Haha, great title

I would like to, but I dont wanna go ahead as I lack some time for private reasons currently. So I prefer to have time for quality. but lets see.

where is join.xmpp now?

for a tweet, I'm thinking of: > Dear #WhatsApp users, feel free to come to #XMPP <https://xmpp.org/getting-started/>, where we have a federated network without one large data collecting landlord, various clients you can use <https://xmpp.org/software/clients.html> and two decades of experience in doing Instant Messaging

feel free to edit and improve

Thanks!

Ge0rG: I hope you will get some Dowloads for Bruno the Jabber Bear ❤

*Jabber* everywhere while I always have to explain to people that jabber != XMPP. 🙄

emus: they posted this, pretty straight forward https://pouet.april.org/@aprilorg/105520799332659637

ralphm: Would you like to point out something? I think it could be good to call via the social media too
