🇩🇪:
Wer letzten Monat den #Conversations Channel verfolgt hat, ist vielleicht auf folgende Aussage gestoßen (siehe Bild).

Sollte Conversations im Zeitraum 05.08.26 - 18.08.26 wirklich kostenfrei im Play Store verfügbar sein, wäre das die Chance für Quicksy-Nutzer:innen einen Wechsel durchzuführen:

🇬🇧:
People who follow the Conversations channel might have seen this text passage (see picture).
This would be great news for Quicksy users.

Thanks, @daniel for #Quicksy and for maintaining it for such a long time! 🙏

I have various friends on Quicksy and will now work on migrating them one by one over to #Conversations_im. Maybe not all on the same server, b/c of #federation 😉

#Jabber #XMPP


#Quicksy registrations are permanently closed.
The project was viable for a long time only because it required minimal effort. However, fighting industrial-scale SMS pumping fraud has become unsustainable, both financially and in terms of workload.

The XMPP server will remain online for the foreseeable future, but users are advised to switch their client to #Conversations_im.


Looking at #Conversations_im / #Quicksy in the Play Store and #Fdroid :
It seems to me as if it takes much longer now until updates are approved by Google. Meanwhile, updates at F-Droid seem to get faster.

Thanks Google and @fdroidorg for making it even more attractive for the average user to switch the store.

Update, May, 24th: Conversations_im just arrived in Play Store, Quicksy still pending.

@reticuleena @nik
Ich habe in den letzten 12 Jahren viele nicht-technische Menschen aus meinem Bekanntenkreis zu #Jabber gebracht. Weitgehend problemlos.

Zu 80 % #Conversations_im bzw. #Quicksy, zu 10 % #Monal und 10 % (incl. mir selbst) #Dino oder #Gajim.

Aber ich verwende gar keine verschlüsselten Gruppen. Macht das vielleicht den Unterschied aus?

Generell ist mit #forwardSecrecy immer alles viel fragiler als ohne. Der Verzicht von DC auf #PFS war wohl 'ne gute Idee!


it is very close to #quicksy in current state as we started from quicksy. It offers a choice to users - they can choose either Quicksy or #Prav without considering what their friends are using and users of either app can talk to users of the other app. We made small changes already like changing SMS provider so it works in countries like Nepal and Brazil where Quicksy SMS don't get delivered. We hope to offer custom username option and may eventually get other features.


I don't get the difference with #Quicksy it's not obvious



Onboarding experience with Quicksy

Quicksy is a spin off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery.

quicksy.im

You sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you. Quicksy can be downloaded for free from Google Play Store.

Spannenderweise dokumentiere ich gerade die Services, die ich fuer meine Familie hoste, darunter einen XMPP Server. Natuerlich dokumentiere ich nicht den Server, sondern #Conversations_im und #Quicksy
Wuenschte ich mir, mit allen Leuten darueber kommunizieren zu koennen? Klar.
Bin ich schon froh, dass unsere Schule und Einzelfallhilfe ueber Signal statt WA erreichbar ist? Auf jeden Fall.
Geh ich den Leute unnoetig auf den Sack? Fsck no. (Kein Vorwurf, falls es so klingen sollte)
