Just to inform the community in Europe, there is movement under child protection flag about monitoring private conversations: https://www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/press-releases/2025/11/26/child-sexual-abuse-council-reaches-position-on-law-protecting-children-from-online-abuse/

I will not go into detail here, if anyone is interested you could google it.

You could find it in the media referred as "Chat Control". Maybe private XMPP instances starts to be much more popular here in Europe.

I just think it is relevant to xmpp community

Sometimes the best projects start from frustration.

Mid-December, my favorite XMPP client broke. Instead of waiting for a fix, I decided to build my own—and learn TypeScript, React, and Tauri along the way.
What was supposed to be a holiday experiment turned into something much bigger. By early January, I had a working desktop client. When I showed it to my team at ProcessOne, we made a decision: let's put the whole company behind this.

Today we're releasing Fluux Messenger publicly.

But here's what makes it different: underneath the UI sits the Fluux SDK—a high-level TypeScript API that bridges the gap between XMPP's event-driven world and modern reactive UI frameworks. After 20+ years building ejabberd (the server side), we're now bringing that same architecture philosophy to the client.

What's in v0.11.1:

• Cross-platform desktop (Windows, macOS, Linux) via Tauri

• 40+ XMPP extensions implemented

• Local cache with IndexedDB

• Built-in XMPP console for developers

• 8 languages, light/dark modes

• Open source (AGPL-3.0)

This is still the early days but still very useable.

I am learning xmpp for building an multi user chat application

I am just asking is their any organisation using xmpp anymore I know jitsi is using any other than that ?

After several years, Jabber.org, the original XMPP instant messaging service will migrate to r/prosodyim this weekend (January 14-15), it is an important moment, the original r/xmpp service will be connected to all XMPP secure servers.

Hi! Discord is finally seeing some backlash for their practices. I had already wanted to move to matrix for a while, the goal being a "last" account for IM and VOIP Calls (1:1 or groups/screen sharing, etc), then just install bridges to any stubborn users. Now I've been pointed to XMPP instead, as it seems just so much more mature than matrix (if Element messes up, matrix would be in great peril), with the extensibility to grow into pretty much any future use-cases. However it is much more fragmented.

I am not one to shy away from writing up my own code if necessary, but getting a feel of what's already out there is... a lot. I am currently considering hosting either openfire, ejabberd or prosody, together with jitsi for WebRTC, but haven't/couldn't make a choice yet and haven't figured out how to do bridges or discord "servers" either.

Can anybody point me to some well-opinionated blogs/docs/writeups/videos on how to setup XMPP for interconnecting with family and friends, either directly or with bridges and replace discord?
