Time for an ICQ for the Fediverse?

django ( django@discuss.tchncs.de ) · 2 years ago

XMPP and Matrix are already there. A large tree grows from a green platform labeled “ActivityPub + more”. ActivityPub is a protocol for communicating between different applications in the Fediverse. The trunk of the tree is labeled The Fediverse, to indicate that all the applications within the tree crown are part of the The Fediverse. Image source

Actually… a bridge between XMPP, Matrix and Fedi-based private messages would be interesting.

For XMPP and ActivityPub it already exists as part of the Libervia project.

It would be great to be able any of these clients with any of these servers and that all users could talk to each other

I have been advocating for a while how easy it is to integrate a lightweight XMPP server with fediverse instances. The accounts can be easily linked and the user address is the same.

Here on slrpnk.net for example every member automatically also has an XMPP account.

It has some smaller issues, but overall it works well.

Every modern XMPP server supports XMPP over HTTPS (via BOSH or Websockets) and it works just fine.

But I wasn’t actually taking about integrating it in the UI of the fediverse instance itself. Which would be nice to have, but really not vital at all if you have a nice mobile chat client.

what do you have in mind? Jabber/XMPP is very similar.

It runs on any old raspberry pi (any but raspberry pi 1 I believe) in your house, can be used by family and friends as well. Has iOS and Android apps… I have had good experiences with the easy to set up https://snikket.org/ XMPP server.

I believe dansup is working on a chat app for the Fediverse.

@dansup@mastodon.social Please consider using xmpp
