I am using #xmpp since the time of windows xp and #pidgin. It is sad to see how the ecosystem moved. On Linux the only client available is gajim (there is no realistic way to install dino on Linux Mint). I appreciate the work people do to make those clients but.. it has so much problems. Now it constantly crashes so my xmpp communication is almost gone. Or lets say, my xmpp usage is tied to my smartphone with "conversations" as client.

Hey everyone, we just released version 0.13.0 of Ibis our #IRCv3 library that we've built for the #IRC support in @pidgin 3!
The big feature in this release is that we're parsing formatting and making it available to users of the library so they can display formatted messages. See the screen shot for what that looks like in Pidgin 3 experimental 2!!
You can find the official release announcement here! https://discourse.imfreedom.org/t/ibis-0-13-0-has-been-released
So @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 2 is due out on Monday and we realized we could probably sneaking message formatting in for #IRCv3 in the last few days.
This still needs some work, but check out the Pidgin 2 vs 3 handling of message formatting...
I thought we fixed the italics stuff in Pidgin 2 awhile, but apparently not.
Anyways this is all spec complaint per https://modern.ircdocs.horse/formatting
If you have any questions, comments, etc feel free!

Greetings Programs!! A late start tonight, but we're continuing on our path towards @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 2!! Come on by!!
Holy crap! I just noticed we're up to 130 unit test suites in @pidgin 3 now! Compare that to the 7 suites we have in Pidgin 2!
This is what we've been talking about when we've been saying that we're making the code easier to maintain. The code has been reworked so that we can actually unit test way more of it and we will continue to add more tests as we move forward!
Do you also think that #MicrosoftTeams is bloated? There is a lightweight alternative: use @pidgin with this libpurple plugin: https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-teams

I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.
I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.
I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?
I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.

Edit: Hi @librewolf !
Greetings Programs!! We're back at it today working on @pidgin 3.0 Experimental 2 working on Link Local Messaging! Come on by!!

On my way to #Kochi for #PravConf2025 tomorrow! Let's give those people some open protocols

I've been using #XMPP since before Google became evil, and have never had to shift away because I'm able to take it with me wherever I go—whether it's #Pidgin with its fancy multiprotocols back in the day or my #KaiOS #FlipPhone today. Contrast that to the centralised platforms where I've tried to make my home only to find the rug pulled away from under my feet one day. Talk about owning your home!
