how can i see the diff actually? is it only github?

clicking on the version just brings up the whole document so github i guess

what's the go to, if any, xmpp↔signal bridge?

slidge

I recommend the much better "sending your signal contact a Snikket invite" 😁

ok, so I have a small group of six persons that are currently using signal, how would you approach them to use xmpp instead?

where would you recommend them to register an account?

By sending an invitation they'd get an account on my server.

hmm?

This is where you get side-tracked into implementing invitations ;)

flow: https://blog.prosody.im/great-invitations/

ok, that's all very technical, while my question wasn't rethorical. What is "our" story to convert a group of signal users to XMPP users?

I assume the best thing we have is to redirect them to https://xmpp.org/getting-started/ ?

This is a technical room. Personally I found that the healthiest way to convert people is to ignore them and go work on technical things instead.

flow: I have some people who use xmpp for me (and our hockey group). They still use WhatsApp but at least they also use XMPP now and I brought them to XMPP by sending them the invitation. So they don't need to pick a server and are guided in picking a client.

But the Snikket onboarding flow is Very Nice, you should try it

Zash, this https://snikket.org/start/ ?

Probably not

Someone has to run the server, then invite the others, and now you've lost them

now I get it, you suggest that I run a snikket server and invite the others

depending on the group, that may be suitable

> now I get it, you suggest that I run a snikket server and invite the others flow: yes exactly! There is no "signing up" for them or even "logging in", they click your link, install Snikket with Google play and are immediately in a chat with you and everyone else you invited ↺

can't get rid of Google but it's a start in the "right" direction 😉

Well they can follow the link and install via f-droid instead but I think that doesn't automatically log them in?

Last time I clicked a random link from a friend I got Rick Rolled

I didn't see "get rid of Google" in the requirements for this scenario

if you download f-droid on a typical android, google will say "you're making a terrible decision for your vitality."
