Now I’m reading this really technical title for a talk which mentions XMPP and I’m instantly sold.

Well, to be honest, “Movim” also sounded like a VC-funded startup. Looks like it’s a bus-factor-of-1 open-source project instead, which I have significantly more trust in.

Our Lemmy instance has been running it as a supplementary service for quite some time now and it is relatively popular with our members: https://movim.slrpnk.net/

At least you can use any native xmpp app with the same account to do text, audio, and visual comms (including groups). The only thing they don’t support is the actual social feeds/posts aspect (and soon spaces!).

As much as I dislike dedicated apps for things that don’t need it, THIS is something that needs it.
