XSF Discussion - 2020-06-15


  1. jjrh

    who's using matrix?

  2. jjrh

    Oh you probably mean for internal chat and not as a solution / protocol

  3. jjrh

    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/charter-ietf-asap/ this sure sounds a lot like problems xmpp solved :)

  4. jonas’

    it’s probably not the XSF’s place to finance that, but we could use a community manager dealing with new IM users.

  5. Zash

    Wasn't jabber@conference.jabber.org once a place for new users?

  6. DebXWoody

    I'm going to work a little bit more on https://xmpp-messenger.de This could be a place for German Community. I'm still in the learning phase,.. but should be ok provided the basics.

  7. jonas’

    a website isn’t going to work

  8. DebXWoody

    It's also a mailinglist, email, account on mastodon and movim.

  9. jonas’

    I’m more thinking of a MUC

  10. jonas’

    new users are constantly dropping in here, jdev or xmpp@

  11. jonas’

    neither is the right place for them

  12. Zash

    But why?

  13. Zash

    What search terms bring them here/there?

  14. Daniel

    Aren't 80% of those 'new users' criminals?

  15. Daniel

    Why should we put any effort into providing them a support channel

  16. jonas’

    Zash, I suspect some of them just click one random xmppy-sounding room on s.j.n or the respective client interface

  17. jonas’

    Daniel, not all of them, the ones in xmpp@ seem decent enough right now. clueless, but ok

  18. jonas’

    at least no obvious criminal

  19. Zash

    jonas’: I was wondering if it's rather something generic like "discuss" or "chat"

  20. Andrzej

    Daniel, maybe to tag them and ban them from a single place?

  21. Zash

    Maybe we shouldn't be speculating on whether peolpe are criminals

  22. jonas’

    that, too
