Honestly, I dunno what XMPP even is, and I doubt I need an account for it.

I think it's an open source protocol to communicate or something like that.

Signal, Discord, and regular email work for me.

Maybe as it's open source you can participate to build the service, i don't know exactly.

I looked it up, XMPP is Jabber, it got renamed at some point. It's a late 90s, early 00s instant messaging protocol. Shit, I might as well use MSN Messenger, at least more of my friends would be likely to pick it up than this.

Yeah maybe it makes no sense to have many means of messaging.

I do use XMPP, but not Hacker.im, it's a great protocol for private conversations with OMEMO/OTR.

Seriously, I don't use this haha

In France i heard about a guy who code a decentralized social network based on xmpp et with an http client, it's called movim. Maybe i will try to set up this thing one day.

Im not into anything that would require communication via xmpp so I havent signed up to HF XMPP yet. I think I have an account on a different one but havent been on it in months.


RE: Have you signed up for an HF XMPP account ? - Lyralei - Aug 10, 2020

I think I have years ago, but I rarely do contacts that require security, so I barely got to use it.

I mostly likely not to because I just new discord overall


RE: Have you signed up for an HF XMPP account ? - Xerotic - Aug 10, 2020

Hmm... that error message is slightly misleading for newer users. HF had a previous XMPP service under a different domain. It was discontinued and in it's place is hacker.im. So that error message is saying the old service is gone, but hacker.im exists to be used instead.

I did not signed up for that and have no idea it exist. :(
