antranigv
are there any statistics on how many active XMPP users are out there?
-
antranigv
say via clients programs or servers?
-
antranigv
it would be a nice info to have
-
Licaon_Kter
antranigv: why bother? Just invent a number and go with it
-
antranigv
Licaon_Kter, LOL

Eg. Get all the number of downloads on play store for Conversations, Xabber, Yaxim, StorkIM, Pix-Art, and consider that Conversations has 2/3 of users on F-Droid. Add these numbers...

Licaon_Kter: > Eg. Get all the number of downloads on play store for Conversations, Xabber, Yaxim, StorkIM, Pix-Art, and consider that Conversations has 2/3 of users on F-Droid. Add these numbers... And then deduct half of it because users don't stick with XMPP 😥

sebastian: never deduct, c'mon, it's uncheckable...we need to woo the VCs
-
sebastian
Well then multiply by 10 😛
-
Licaon_Kter
No, we are honest :)),
-
sebastian
But yeah... it's a downside of decentralization... not having user numbers. I'd be interested, too....
-
sebastian
"Downside" ... actually a harsh word 🤔
-
Martin
Or convince all operators to join the-federation.info
-
Martin
But active accounts on the server also doesn't mean users as users can have more than one account, bots, etc.
-
sebastian
How do you define active?
-
Martin
The-federation.info counts active users when logged in.
-
Martin
You could have a look at the prosody module. But forgot what's the name.
-
tom
I will not be joining the federation info or sharing usercounts
-
tom
that's how you know if someone is actually private and distributed
-
tom
if it's impossible to get an accurate count of users
-
tom
*something
-
tom
one other thing, in your list your also missing out on the non-IP networks with xmpp running over them
-
tom
like all the eppsites
-

XMPP is very popular on I2P
-
tom
I think if you were able to publish an active user count, you'd attract a very unsavory kind of group that would not be beneficial to the nice decentralized community we have here

tom
think eternal September and the dotcom bubble all over again
