Hello users!

I’ve recently gotten reports that our server is being used for spam. If you get any spam from an @xmpp.is user please email abuse [AT] xmpp.is immediately with the entire message and username of the account. We have a zero tolerance policy for spam and it makes us very sad that people abuse our service for this purpose. Nevertheless we’ll still remain log free and privacy conscious 🙂

Happy holidays,

Lunar

Instead of having updates posted to the Crypto World Twitter, I’ve decided it would be better if XMPP.is had it’s own separate Twitter account because of the growing amount of projects under Crypto World.

If you’re on Twitter and want to hear about all things XMPP.is make sure to follow us!

twitter.com/xmpp_is

There is now a status page for XMPP.is 🙂

You can find it at: status.xmpp.is

We’re now IPv6 ready! You can connect to the XMPP.is site and Prosody server even if you don’t have an IPv4 address.

I’ve also created a changelog that will list every major action I perform on the server, including security updates and scheduled downtimes.

Support for MUC (Multi-User Chat) has been added and you can now join the official chatroom “lounge@muc.xmpp.is”. I have made a guide on how to connect with Pidgin here.

Also mod_onions support is back and the new hidden service is “y2qmqomqpszzryei.onion”. You can use this to register an account if you’re using Tor.
