Conversations on Android and Siskin on iOS.
One non-techie parent has Siskin running on their iPhone and it hasn’t skipped a beat in years of messaging using omemo-encrypted XMPP. For servers, they’re on tigase.im and I’m on conversations.im.
Here’s a guide on optimum siskin settings; I don’t know if defaults are better now or not.
Conversations.im is free on fdroid but it’s well worth paying something to the developer directly.
👍 Fuck lawns. Grassland or gtfo.
Beetles and lepidoptera ftw.
Presiding Judge Bas Boele said there was a possibility the Dutch government could allow the export of F-35 parts to Israel in future, but only on the strict condition they would not be used in military operations in Gaza.
Oh… That’s okay then. /s
Yeah, there’s a distinct lack of nonsense with Migadu.
Those Dutch hospitals must be packed full of cyclists with head injuries…
double-check for security vulnerabilities
triple-check is better.
Part of me thinks you’re being unreasonable, because that question did receive decent responses (1 CLI + GUI suggestion, 1 GUI suggestion, and 2 beginning to try troubleshoot the drive access problem).
But I suspect it’s just a dissonance in perspectives, maybe due to your Linux distro causing a bunch of stupid issues, which haven’t been properly noticed by anyone yet.
It’s a shame that some distros like Ubuntu have enshittified so badly that they’ve become unsupportable. (Nothing seems to work rationally – the same reason I find it impossible to support users on Windows).
Advocates and potential/new users alike, need to consider specific distributions, not just “Linux”.

A quick web search (even without ‘graphical’) turned up pages suggesting meld in the first few results.
It’s always crickets when the issue of improper poor ranking of XMPP is addressed in these threads…
Yep. Really need to compare the best-practice XMPP clients (e.g. Conversations, Siskin), not half-developed clients more suited to the XMPP landscape of 20 years ago. – Just as Matrix’s ranking in the table is high because only the state-of-the-art clients are considered – there are plenty of Matrix clients which don’t support e2ee, for example.
This list of mistakes isn’t exhaustive, but extending from poVoq’s mentions, here are some things XMPP(conversations) does actually have positive findings for:
I’m not sure there’s much differentiation between any apps when it comes to “What can the apps hand to police?”; if the police have physical access to your device and app, they have access to everything you do on that device/app.

Heh. Band class. Good times.

Machine-generated summary courtesy of Kagi’s summarizer (filling in for TL;DRbot):
Summary: The “anti-Germans” are a left-wing political movement in Germany that strongly supports Israel and criticizes any expression of solidarity with Palestine as anti-Semitic. While they began as a fringe group opposing German nationalism, they have now achieved mainstream success in promoting pro-Israel stances. They focus heavily on depicting Muslims and pro-Palestine activists as Nazis. Over time, the movement has moved away from leftist politics and toward anti-Muslim rhetoric and support for right-wing positions. Many of its stances have now been adopted more broadly in German policy and discourse. Although the group itself may be less influential, its radical anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim views have permeated German political life. Some former members have even gone on to respectable careers after pushing such views. In this way, the “anti-Germans” have had a significant impact on shaping Germany’s approach to Israel and Palestine issues.
Dot points:
- At a pro-Israel demonstration in Leipzig, Germany, flags of Israel and the antifa movement were flown together, showing the unusual alliance between pro-Israel and far-left groups in Germany.
- The anti-Deutsch movement started as a radical left opposition to German nationalism but is now defined by its hardline support for Israel and criticism of any expression of solidarity with Palestine.
- Support for Israel has become increasingly mainstream in German politics, while support for Palestine has been marginalized. The anti-Deutsch movement has found new relevance as a result.
- The anti-Deutsch movement emerged in reaction to fears that German reunification could lead to a resurgence of German nationalism and Nazism. They blamed inherent flaws in German culture and identity for the Holocaust.
- The movement’s focus has shifted from criticizing capitalism to attacking Muslims and those expressing solidarity with Palestine as antisemites.
- The anti-Deutsch movement takes an extreme stance, believing that any means are justified to secure Israel’s existence as protection against antisemitism.
- There have been attacks on pro-Palestine groups in Germany by those claiming to oppose antisemitism, showing the radicalization of some in the anti-Deutsch movement.
- The anti-Deutsch movement’s extreme anti-Muslim positions have aligned with conservative parties’ rhetoric on issues like immigration.
- While the anti-Deutsch movement’s influence as a leftist group has waned, its anti-Palestinian and anti-Muslim politics have become mainstream in German discourse.
- Some former members of the anti-Deutsch movement have gone on to respectable careers in media and politics, showing how their views have diffused into the establishment.
There used to be a sign “helping” cyclists already on the freeway by telling them “cross here with care”:
But it was obliterated by a vehicle:
All around Vic, too. They generally don’t even put in a bike lane, just say “use the emergency lane”. Here’s a sequence of images for one on the freeway in to Melbourne from Ballarat, starting from the onramp:
This whole stretch of freeway is 110 km/h (70mph). There are skid marks where vehicles have bailed out of a failing 110km/h merge.
The shoulder is the emergency lane. It’s where drivers pull over into if there’s an unavoidable hazard ahead or their brakes are failing or something.
As long as there’s no cream in it, we’re good.
