Hot off the press! On Getting Things Done: A Conversation with Matthew Wild from @snikket_im. We helped improve the user experience of Snikket through a heuristic review, a user study, & several #UX design explorations. Find the interview on our blog: simplysecure.org/blog/on-get…

A few people have asked privately so it's probably worth publicly reassuring: Snikket (and the software it builds upon) is *not* affected by the recent log4j vulnerability (CVE-2021-44228), so your hosted and self-hosted Snikket instances are safe ✔️

#WhatsApp is currently down. This is your regular reminder that centralized platforms are centralized: a single point of failure and control. Help spread the word about open decentralized networks such as #XMPP!
Help us improve Snikket - a safe, secure, and open-sourced IM platform - by participating in our usability study. Available slots are open until September 17 and you can book and read more about it here snikket.org/app/ios/

🎉 Our #iOS app is finally public!🎉 snikket.org/blog/snikket-ios… This is a huge milestone for the project and #XMPP. The app link will be added in the next server update (along with some other related fixes), but the blog has manual instructions for admins who just can't wait 🙂
Imagine this: The messaging 🗨 platform you use to connect with your family 👨‍👧‍👦and friends shuts down tomorrow. How do you secure your #data? Does this worry you? Then you must meet project XPORTA - #XMPP Account Portability! 👇 bit.ly/3fMVClP

The next stage of the project is the exciting one! Over the next couple of months I will be working on implementing these new protocols, and producing the initial software to help people migrate their data between services. So thankful for the support of @NGI_DAPSI! ❤️

I just submitted the second XEP ("Moved 2.0") related my work on the #XMPP account migration project. Both this and the XEP-0227 update I submitted a few weeks ago are now going through the XMPP standards process. docs.modernxmpp.org/projects… (1/2)

For you podcast fans! Snikket was featured and discussed in episode 89 of TuxJam, a podcast blending open-source software discussions and Creative Commons music. tuxjam.otherside.network/tux… A nice surprise, and always great to hear real-world Snikket stories!

Very excited to announce that @NGI_DAPSI will be funding user account data export and migration in #Snikket and #XMPP! This project will give people more control over their data and ensure they are never locked into a specific XMPP provider. @NGI4eu snikket.org/blog/dapsi-fund-…
