The devs of ejabberd made an "I can't believe it's not Discord" client for XMPPgithub.com/processone/fluux-messenger

@noel @volpeon Lets also hope they make it waaaaaay easier to host a sensible XMPP-Server until then as well..

@aetios @volpeon doesn't work on my phone (i don't use android)

@noel @volpeon more like the opposite of redemption

@volpeon oh DAMN uhhh this might be a solution

@volpeon
Yes but it seems to be coded by garbage AI, we would love that kind of client created by real people for real people.

I think we need to improve Movim (https://movim.eu) instead!

@codimp What makes you think it's coded by AI?

@volpeon the main developper admit it, we talked about this in a french XMPP room

@volpeon @codimp

it's in the introduction blog post: https://www.process-one.net/blog/introducing-fluux-messenger-a-modern-xmpp-client-born-from-a-holiday-coding-session/

@rakoo @codimp I feel there's some nuance between "bootstrapped with AI" and "coded by AI"

@volpeon @codimp there is a difference in degree, not in nature: exploitation is less problematic than my comfort

@volpeon

So, currently:
- Doesn't explicitly support other server software apart from ejabberd, and doesn't seem to work with server I normally use. (may be a bug with specific release) Couldn't quickly test it because of that.
- Used LLM in early stages of development as indicated by blogpost, doesn't clearly disclose it in repo.
- Is based on web framework, though instead of Electron it's Tauri which uses webkit or native Windows webview depending on platform.
- No guilds, voip, etc, so discord theming is kinda just a visual flare and marketing trick.

I don't know if it was really needed to make it Discord themed apart from hype, but more xmpp clients that at least (hopefully) work wouldn't hurt.

@tiredbun @volpeon seems to work fine with Prosody for me

it's missing OMEMO though

@volpeon I wonder if it's accessible for blind folks.
