Sam: "easy invitations without having to involve the server admin" is also one of the things that I get out of my ejabberd / GNU social integration (since GNU social already has an invitation system). I'd guess that integrating with Mastodon/Pleroma/whatever probably has similar functionality as well?

And on that note..., I've been wanting to set up converse.js with GNU social such that once a user logs into the GNU social web UI, the user is preauthenticated to use XMPP via the converse.js widget embedded in the GNU social page..., but every time I try to actually do it, I read through the converse.js docs and I just can't seem to quite wrap my head around whatever is actually required.... Maybe someone here could provide some pointers?

^ same but with jsxc

rozzin: have you tried to get help in the converse.js room?

SouL
Sounds like you might get more chances there :)

the-federation.info is opt-in so it captures only a very small number of servers
-
Kris
homebeach, what makes you think xmpp.org is the "main" network?
-
Kris
xmpp isn't centralized like matrix
-
Kris
xmpp.org is mostly irrelevant 😉

homebeach
well there probably are isolated xmpp networks including those used for proprietary service such as Google
-
Licaon_Kter
homebeach: whataboutism much?
-
Menel
I think it's just a misunderstanding maybe. homebeach: most server don't connect at the moment to xmpp.org, since there are no users of the one server In a muc that is hosted by xmpp.org. But they are not isolated and could connect anytime. It's just another network structure.

Onion routing but NOT Tor, maybe not even yet active, soon™ Some $hit coin/blockchain integration Says p2p but no workie if can't login to their server Push service via Google Not fully FOSS cause non-free Google push libs, so not in F-Droid Need more?

Alex
All good critiques but a couple notes
-
Alex
> Session now has an F-Droid repo for everyone who wants to avoid the Google Play Store.
-
Menel
> https://the-federation.info/ I think these numbers are so wrong it makes it more wrong to publish them then to say I don't know, because of the mentioned opt in and the unpopularity to do so. (I didn't even know it existed and I won't opt in now either)

homebeach: what is federation? Look, Conversations Offtopic room, 40 members, 34 different servers.

Alex
> Session’s Android client has two options for notifications: background polling, and Firebase Cloud Messaging. > If you choose the background polling method, the Session application runs in the background and periodically polls its swarm for new messages. If a new message is found, it is presented to the user as a local notification.

Alex
Seems to be copying most of what conversations is doing

Alex: they have Google libs inside, that's a -1 point from me Great that it can do polling, so +1 Result? Zero :)
-
Alex
Haha, sure thing, just trying to be objective. I don't yet see any benefits over xmpp

Licaon_Kter
Exactly...

"benefits over XMPP"? Meaning it can't connect to XMPP? That's a -1 right there... 😜

wow, "matrix" definitely triggers something in here...
