XMPP Service Operators - 2020-10-28

Check

ROM CHECK FAIL

😂

Thanks. I always don't know if my security level is to high for some rooms..

Room conversations seems not to wirl at Moment

(<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6RlozysHGA> for those who don’t get the reference)

are there any statistics on how many active XMPP users are out there?

say via clients programs or servers?

it would be a nice info to have

antranigv: why bother? Just invent a number and go with it

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...

unreliable for many (good) reasons indeed

sebastian: never deduct, c'mon, it's uncheckable...we need to woo the VCs

Well then multiply by 10 😛

No, we are honest :)),

But yeah... it's a downside of decentralization... not having user numbers. I'd be interested, too....

"Downside" ... actually a harsh word 🤔

Or convince all operators to join the-federation.info

But active accounts on the server also doesn't mean users as users can have more than one account, bots, etc.

How do you define active?

The-federation.info counts active users when logged in.

You could have a look at the prosody module. But forgot what's the name.

I will not be joining the federation info or sharing usercounts

that's how you know if someone is actually private and distributed

if it's impossible to get an accurate count of users

*something

one other thing, in your list your also missing out on the non-IP networks with xmpp running over them

like all the eppsites

*eepsites

XMPP is very popular on I2P

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

think eternal September and the dotcom bubble all over again
