Just a heads-up that #Snikket #Android has been pulled by #Google from the store. We'll work on restoring it once we figure out their (as usual) nonsensical complaints. Apologies to everyone affected. Please look at #FDroid and free yourself.

Today's excuse for delisting yet another #XMPP app?

"Your app is uploading users' Image information without posting a privacy policy link or text within the Play Distributed App."

Funny. What's this then?? 👀

Many people affected by the recent blocking of #Telegram in 🇪🇸 Spain are looking for alternatives - especially decentralized ones.

#Snikket is one of those alternatives, and fully open-source. However, our Spanish translations are lacking, which can lead to a poor experience for our #hispanohablante friends.

If you think you could help us with translation, please reach out 🙂

@snikket_im has officially launched their XMPP hosting platform :flan_cheer: This one subscription gets you a personal XMPP server for yourself, your family, and some friends! :flan_smile:

"…it became increasingly clear that, as easy as we make self-hosting, it’s always going to require skills or time that people don’t have. If we want everyone to be a part of this network, we can’t expect them all to learn Linux, SSH and system administration!"

We've published a new blog post about the recent jabber.ru security incident (a kind of attack we have not seen before). It did not affect Snikket servers, but we are taking steps to remove the possibility of such attacks in the future. This includes advice that self-hosters can follow.

Our latest blog post dives into the funding of the Snikket project. Funding open-source is rarely easy. Grants, donations, sponsorships - we've tried them all 🙂

Our :snikket: blog has been quiet for a while, so we just kicked off a series of blog posts reviewing the current state of the Snikket project - where we're at, and where we're heading:

Hopefully these and future posts will cover a lot of questions you may have. If you have any other topics you'd like to see us cover, let us know! 🙂

(+ big thanks to @strypey for putting the effort into this initiative ❤️)

Apple has declared the 2013 MacBook used for Snikket iOS development to be too old to run the latest dev tools 🙄

This means we're temporarily unable to push iOS app updates, but we're working on getting a replacement.

If anyone has a spare MacBook lying around that they could donate (ideally M1, to test running the app natively), send a DM our way!

Alternatively, just 50 new Liberapay donors at €0.25/wk would help cover the cost of purchasing a used one locally ❤️

Added a new page to our website with an overview of the project and its goals: https://snikket.org/about/goals/

May help answer "What is Snikket about?" for some of you!
