XMPP is a federated chat protocol.

This thread is for cataloguing knowledge and experience with it.

I will start with the clients.

Dino (desktop, Linux only?)

- Works but is very simple and uses GTK3.

- Lacks some more advanced features.

- Works with Tor (proxychains) but leaks.

- Can't into certificates

https://dino.im/

Conversations (android)

- Works.

- Works with Orbot.

https://conversations.im/

Profanity (terminal)

- Has OMEMO issues it seems.

- Works with Tor (proxychains).

https://profanity-im.github.io/

Gajim (desktop)

- Python bloat machine. Old versions allow OMEMO in weird places.

- Probably insecure. No Tor.

https://gajim.org/

PSI+ (desktop)

- Old looking, but fine with single window mode

- Only works with Tor if you are using an Onion address

https://sourceforge.net/projects/psiplus/

PSI (desktop)

- Same as PSI but worse I guess?

https://psi-im.org/

Monal IM (iOS)

- Can't receive OMEMO Messages from Dino

https://monal.im/

Zom (iOS and Android)

- Apparently have become a Matrix client?

https://zom.im/

ChatSecure (iOS)

https://chatsecure.org/

Siskin (iOS)

- OMEMO does not work in groups

Vacuum IM

I've seen some people use Xabber on their phones.

I've found that most clients do work with Tor if you are using an Onion address. Otherwise, they seem to leak DNS requests, unless you are using TorDNS where at least Dino will promptly fail. Pretty sure this is due to TorDNS not supporting some types of DNS requests.

thanks for this

Is it better and more secure than signal?

Is it better and more secure than signal?

XMPP? I would say so since Signal is highly centralized, and it's certainly more private (for example you don't have to give a phone number).

A new project I heard about today, a fork of Blabber.im which itself is a fork of Conversations: https://codeberg.org/Arne/monocles_chat

Don't forget about Fnord Messenger https://gt.kalli.st/kallist/conversations It's a fork of Conversations with only cosmetic changes. While it hasn't received any commits in a year or so, it still doesn't matter.

Tkabber has also been forgotten about.

I remember seeing clients using XMPP for code collaboration as well. On Eclipse, I've used the Saros plugin, but it did seem very restrictive in terms of messaging.

nice to be here ready to learn alot

Tkabber has also been forgotten about.

Also mcabber. Both tkabber and mcabber have OTR and PGP support, but lack HTTP upload/OMEMO. They also rarely get updates anymore, however they're stable clients so it doesn't matter much.

think i found a red-room but I'm not sure if it counts because the site isn't red should probably report it???

What does this have to do with XMPP? If it doesn't, please don't post off-topic stuff or you may get banned for spam.
