XMPP Service Operators - 2026-06-04

> Is the xmpp.earth admin here? > > I have an xmpp.earth user complaining they are unable to message a 07f.de user, due to s2s connection failure I've tried contacting them before without success. A few beings using xmpp.earth accounts have messaged me that they have troubles staying connected to queer spark ↺

I wonder if we should release a special branded version of our XMPP client called Spark. :)

> I wonder if we should release a special branded version of our XMPP client called Spark. :) Just plaster it in pride flags and Queer Spark will adopt it :) ↺

Would definitely revive spark to be fare, I don't know anyone who actively uses the client other than you Guus :)

"Pride month exclusive release, Spark, with added flags!"

s/fare/fair/ been talking too much about trains :p

> I've tried contacting them before without success. A few beings using xmpp.earth accounts have messaged me that they have troubles staying connected to queer spark Yeah it seems like a lot of server admins are getting more difficult to actually contact :/ ↺

there will be a UK provider coming soon :3

Once you manage to get in contact with such an hard to get admin ask them to implement xep 0157.

> Once you manage to get in contact with such an hard to get admin ask them to implement xep 0157. Lol ↺

Maybe we should have a XMPP operator meetup, I saw one was done digitally by the JoinJabber folks a while back. Maybe a few hours in which the operators can discuss common issues we are having?

maybe some talks on how people do their different infrastructure?

recently there has been a spamwave with usernicks matching "JEW <some number>" and the message "am israel hi" or something like that does anyone know which server(s) those accounts come from? ✏

They have mostly been from magicbroccoli.de of the ones I've seen

>> I wonder if we should release a special branded version of our XMPP client called Spark. :) > Just plaster it in pride flags and Queer Spark will adopt it :) That could be fun 😁 I doubt many would actually adopt it, though. I've been encouraging clients like cheogram, monocles, movim, and gajim for a while for reaction support for services like crowdmod, but there are still plenty that stick to whatever client they are already using, no matter what features it lacks ↺

I dont think many people here are subscribed to the operators mailing list, but I guess I will draft an email to it and post it here?

I've been encouraging clients like cheogram, monocles, movim, and gajim for a while for reaction support for services like crowdmod, but there are still plenty that stick to whatever client they are already using, no matter what features it lacks Then it needs more pride flags, so many that you can't resist adopting it >:) ↺

Yeah, it hit one of queer spark's channels that aren't even listed on SJN ↺

>> Ah yeah this hit a few channels, I think this is a targeted attack though because it hit some of the private communities I am in... > > Yeah, it hit one of queer spark's channels that aren't even listed on SJN are those channels listed in the MUC domain directory? I'd assume a bot can walk through that ↺

i like that theres a mailing list for longform discussion anyhow

> are those channels listed in the MUC domain directory? I'd assume a bot can walk through that They are listed through disco, so I assume so. Though, it was just one of the non SJN channels. There a lot of other channels too. I'm not sure what the criteria was 🤷‍♀️ ↺
