2018 Status Update

Hello users!

A little late… but Happy New Year!

I wanted to post about some recent changes that XMPP.is underwent this past few months.

  • mod_cloud_notify (XEP-0357: Push Notifications) support has been added. twitter.com/xmpp_is/status/946592338607996928
  • The security page has been updated with more details about how we care for your data.
  • Non-standard ASCII characters in usernames are no longer allowed when registering. People could potentially impersonate other users for malicious purposes. See: twitter.com/xmpp_is/status/954729573173940224
  • We now have a fair (in my opinion) TOS/AUP.
  • The 2018 donation goal has been created. I lowered it this year to cover at least domain costs, and a little more. Thank you to all that donated USD and crypto-currency!
  • The donation page has been updated with our hard-coded crypto-currency wallet addresses. If you’d like to donate with any of those, please opt for the ones we provide (more privacy).
