Modern XMPP project discussion - 2022-01-25

MattJ: yeah sharing pwd...not too fond

qwestion, understandable, but note that your password doesn't go to migrate.modernxmpp.org - it only goes to your XMPP server

But as a user you have no way to know that without inspecting the code :)

MattJ: not enough time/grant money for modifying each client to imp/exp a common format?

I'd love to read why that privacy preserving way of doing it was decided against (for now)

Certainly not enough funding to update every possible client, no

I wrote the web migrator in 2-3 days, there wasn't even really funding for it (it wasn't in the original plan)

I wrote it to prototype the new XEP, but mainly for blabber.im users

MattJ: right, SVC died

blabber.im had cross-domain BOSH, so I was able to develop it so that the user's browser connects directly to the XMPP server to download the data

So there's no need for the connection, credentials or user data to go through the migrate.modernxmpp.org web server, which is something I wanted to avoid for privacy and security

MattJ: can this work with torbrowser? Is there list of known working/not wrk servers?

I've not tested it, but I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work

There's no list of compatible servers yet, though we did do some work on gathering that info, which I should dig up

MattJ: thx, Ill prob test it out w less important acct first and give feedback

Maybe the list at https://compliance.conversations.im/test/xep0156/ will help?

It isn’t entirely correct, for instance it says our server doesn’t support it while we do.

K will check latr

Yeah, if a server is listed there it should work fine
