I cannot even parse "foo is secure" or "bar is insecure". What does security mean in a given context? Is Signal inflammable or slippery?

The big plus points in favour of #Jabber/#XMPP are:

➕ Not a silo in the Amazon cloud. Many servers available everywhere.

➕ First class clients for many OSes, not only Google Android and Apple iOS.

➕ Long history since 1999-01-06, very good #LindyEffect property.

➕ #IETF standard governed by the #XSF, various independent implementations.

As i said these rules are listed now in the joinjabber website and in the group chat description in xmpp. they are also used in the guix room guix@chat.disroot.org?join
in the permacomputing room lowtech@chat.disroot.org?join
and in the tinkerspace room tinkering@conference.macaw.me? which is more of a general tech/privacy room. (all people are welcome, especially people that dont know coding :D )

As i said these rules could be improved in the context of JoinJabber. In the sense of:
1. If Joinjabber has sprints or events it would be nice to also follow the @phpledge
2. In these events it would be nice to prioritize minorities and people that have had less opportunities to speak be given platform.

Personally I would like to see an event for xmpp that has a great deal of diversity or even an event focused only on non cis-het-men. In context of alternatives to the xmpp summit or improving the xmpp summit and sprints. (which i personally wouldnt feel safe to attend. Because among others it seemed to have few diversity if any)

Did you know? 4 times a year, many members of #XMPP community (not all though) are applying to be member of the XMPP Software Foundation (#XSF), and for this they write a small presentation on who they are, what they are working on, and who they work for.

Every year, some of them apply to be member of board for administrative direction, or council, for technical decisions.
