Gay blind dude in middle age hailing from the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Apple/Linux fan who sometimes tinkers with tech and code. Audio books, podcasts, and retro media from the 1970s–to the early 2000s is my jam. Enjoy good food, drink and conversation with friends, plus a little cannabis to keep things mellow.

52·4 months agoI already have Signal… Agree it’s pretty good, all except that fact it requires a phone number to register an account.
I’m familiar with XMPP… I’ve experimented with the latest version of Prosody and Monal as a client before, but since my personal domain ends in .us, it’s probably not the best option to use to host a server.
Well, there goes one of my favorite alternatives to WhatsApp… Looks like I’ll need to find a replacement.
I’m a bit of a stickler when it comes to making sure any XMPP server fully supports the full XMPP spec, especially since I’ve had the chance to experiment with a fully compliant server I set up myself.
