XSF Communications Team - 2021-01-23

sorry, I thought you speak french, as you often post articles from there - at least I thought so^^

Speaking =\= Writing ;)

🤷‍♂️️

https://xmpp.org/2021/01/instant-messaging-its-not-about-the-app/

I will ask for tweets tonight

Thanks to everyone participating! 🤗️

emus: 🥳

Uhh double headline --> PR 🏃‍♂️️

https://twitter.com/xmpp/status/1352946729713340416?s=20

emus: do you have access to fosstodon's @xmpp ?

wurstsalat: no, I have none of those accesses. But Iwill ask Seve

retweeted :)

edhelas: 😘😉

sharing is caring 💕

emus, so https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/876#discussion_r563123869 ?

Also, since I'm the only one actively translating XMPP apps, basically you'll never approve the blog translation?

I want to have a look, but am busy now. 😐

Licaon_Kter: is it an option to ask an unrelated friend or contact?

emus: not for me, that's a lot of work, you know that

ok, if no one is out there, I have no other option than merging🤷‍♂️

emus: I'll have a look at the german translation later

emus: yeah, I know it's a niche ~country~locale ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You saw this response from Chelsea Manning to signal? "end-to-end encryption without a self healing mesh network is prone to a single point of failure in functionality during crises, causing a cascade of secure communications to grind to a halt and force folks to use less secure alternatives" https://mobile.twitter.com/xychelsea/status/1350190083027193862 Often when people promote Signal, they refer to Edward Snowden who's heavily promoting it. Refering back to Chelsea Manning, when explaining why XMPP matters, can be a usefull strategy against this attitute: but this security expert said we can trust in it. Then you can reply with: yes, and this expert said you should not, and this are her arguments.

Chelsea Manning is considered a security expert?

Wasn't he convicted due to cleartext logs?

I think before was involed in military opsec stuff. Anyway, I prefer people retweeting. I dont wanna start active chasing after people currently

Martin, errors happen :/

And I don't think it was her logs but those of her recipients or sth(?)

Don't quote me on that

purplebeetroot: Snowden says _"I use Signal and I'm still alive"_ While history says _"Snowden is alive because he used XMPP in 2013"_

I doubt it's in anybody's interest now to kill Snowden anyway :x

pep.: _accident_

yeah yeah, accidents :p

emus updates as you wish, hope we get a tweet per translation too 🙂 or an entry on the blog post with "also in LOCALE" ?

> pep. wrote: > I doubt it's in anybody's interest now to kill Snowden anyway :x I guess so too. because people forgot they still are using vendor android or ios

Licaon_Kter: yes sure ✏

Do you guys think I should send an exceptional email to the Newsletter subscribers?

With the blogpost? Preaching to the choir is not needed.

I think adding it to the regular one is fine

Ok

What wurstsalat said

using the word "messenger" as... > In contrast to the current situation where other people suggest you use their preferred messenger here it means system right? > in the XMPP universe you have a free choice of many messengers here it means client? > – pick whichever one> you like, not what others like until the next internet fad. so this is about XMPP clients or other systems? > The difference is that, regardless of your messaging app so client or which app your friends use, you still have the comfort of being on the same network with all of your contacts, independent of your choice today. I think this is a real solution. ✏

I think this is a real solution. right, surely here is xmpp client ✏

1. hmm, I think for most people it means messenger (but for ud can also mean system) 2. yes 3. hmm its a bit general: within xmpp you can choose a client until the next fad, can also be about others

4. yes 5. Id also say yes 6. yes

the actual word is used all over, of course, so I had to interpret this as best as I could to explain 🙂

> Wasn't she convicted due to cleartext logs? Because she got reported through Lamo, whom she shared personal information in a moment of personal crisis.

Any comments on this or request, that I should wait for one review? https://github.com/xsf/xmpp.org/pull/870

emus: I think it's an improvement, simple but good

Thank you wurstsalat!
