Pretty fuckin’ cool if you ask me.
I’m so old school I have a website: https://nicoco.fr

OK, then it sounds like you need to work this out with Monal devs. Bug reports are usually appreciated by devs, especially if you manage to work out exactly when and how it happens…
In my experience, Monal has been working great (except when siskin used the account before, leading to misconfiguration of some OMEMO-related stuff).
Did they use siskin before?
Matrix tries to kill XMPP but the reality is that if you want to self-host, XMPP is much less of a hassle. Also, Matrix is an open standard as in “pay big money to participate in the openness”. https://matrix.org/blog/2022/12/01/funding-matrix-via-the-matrix-org-foundation/

Looks nice! 2.15.0, then 3.0, right? ;o)
A life goal, you mean!
(I’m the maintainer) I do use the messenger bridge and it works for me, without disconnection issues.
But what is dead may never die!
Yes, it’s totally fantastic, and I’m not biased at all when I talk about it. xD
It does support a crazy amount of networks (it uses libpurple which is the lib of pidgin), unfortunately it lacks modern features and even groups don’t work that well. I actually started to work on slidge because I was fed up with spectrum2’s limitations and realised that spectrum2’s maintainer think, like many others, that XMPP is dead…
“Always” is the good choice yes, and dino is gnome-philosophy-compliant: “do not expose too many settings”.
Some additional info: your server admin may have set the server-side archiving policy to a very short time or even disabled it all together. Also, this Conversations setting only applies to direct chats. For groups it’s up to the group owner to enable or disable server-side archiving (it’s on by default in most modern implementations).
Now we need prosody to support what’s needed, pubsub-wise. Oh I know, I could use ejabberd…
‘chat thingy’ I use are messenger apps (is that even the same?)
Almost. XMPP is a protocol, and a “messenger app” would be an XMPP client, for instance Conversations. All your messenger apps use some protocol. Most of them use a proprietary protocol meant to be used inside the app’s “walled garden”. XMPP being an open protocol, it’s meant to be used by different clients.
Why is XMPP relevant to solarpunk? XMPP is quite old and thus, very resource-efficient. However, the X in it stands for extensibility, meaning that you can also do “modern chat stuff” with it.
Too bad they didn’t discover how the forged certificate was obtained.
I don’t think they forged certifs, they obtained valid ones because they controlled the machine behind the IP?
spooks from three letter agencies spooking around
Apparently that server was widely for “dark market” sort of things. Isn’t a “simple” police investigation more likely?
I didn’t know mellium was a community, nice! I wish I had an idea how to organise my project as such. I don’t especially like the BDFL model either. ⩜⃝
Great news! I want to test other clients, because I believe diversity is good, but the absence of MUC support has always make my tests last less than 5 minutes.
Because they’re much better at “communication”?
A few of them even are in your area.
