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! ❤️

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-…

Products vs Protocols: What Signal got right

There is a significant difference between developing and promoting a protocol (such as XMPP) and a product (such as Signal). Both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages. This post details...
