@snikket_im Does Snikket federate with regular XMPP? E.g.: Can Snikket users interact with XMPP users? What's the intent with the Snikket protocol; will the potentially be submitted as improvements to the XSF or will it remain its own thing?
@whynothugo
There is no "Snikket protocol", it's just XMPP! We believe strongly in open standards. After all, the founder of Snikket is the current Executive Director of the XSF 🙂
That said, we are focused on showing the best XMPP can offer, and we prioritize things like usability and security over backwards compatibility. We do what we can to help lead the ecosystem in these things, and move XMPP forward in implementation as well as specifications.
@snikket_im Thanks, I got that impression after going through the FAQ. The current website is oriented to people who’ve never heard of XMPP. I think it’s missing an “Snikket for XMPP users” link in the footer pointing to a page tailored for people familiar with XMPP who want to understand what’s distinct about Snikket from that point of view. Eg: most of the website focuses on how this is better than WhatsApp, but for somebody comparing XMPP servers that’s not the kind of info we need. (1/2)
