An Objection to ‘The ecosystem is moving’

▻https://gultsch.de/objection.html

In May 2016 Moxie Marlinspike published an article on his company’s blog entitled ‘Reflections: The ecosystem is moving’ where he claims that federated systems are ‘stuck in time’. Since then his blog post has been passed around primarily to support the argument that federated, XMPP based, instant messaging is not working and won’t ever provide a decent user experience. [...]

The State of Mobile XMPP in 2016
►https://gultsch.de/xmpp_2016.html

#XMPP is not suited for #mobile_devices. That’s a myth that has been around for ages. It is mostly spread by people who want to sell you their own #proprietary instant #messaging solution. But it also gained some popularity through a blog post entitled The (Sad) State of #Mobile XMPP in 2014 by Georg Lukas. While Georg wasn’t wrong with his status report per se, it is important to understand that he describes a temporary problem. There was a brief period of time where XMPP actually had some catching up to do. XMPP was fine before, when we had different requirements—In fact I was using an XMPP client on my Nokia E71 back in 2008 (That’s more than two years before #WhatsApp was even invented)—and it’s fine now in 2016.
Why should I care?

There is #Signal, there is Whatsapp, there is Slack. Why should I even bother to use XMPP? Well there are two kind of answers. The political kind and the personal one.

An excellent post from the author of Conversations, fighting against common beliefs and explaining in a clear way how XMPP works (talking about encryption, push, battery life, reliability), and why it’s a very well thought and modern protocol.

I highly recommend reading it.
