This is the {{ site.name }} communication service. This XMPP service provides text messaging via a local client. Many XMPP servers (like this one) are federated, meaning they are able to connect to diffrent XMPP servers on diffrent domains, similer to how email allows you to send messages to users on other domains/servers. This service is in complete compliance with XEP-0387.
This service requires the use of a client to connect to the server with. Please see the client list for a small list of available clients that may be used. My personal preferred clients are Gajim or Swift for desktop/laptops and Conversations or ChatSecure for mobile.
XMPP (previous known as jabber) is an instant messaging system that is free, standard, and open; allowing you to chat live with your family, friends and professional contacts, and be warned of the presence of your contacts, while keeping your independence vis-à-vis your software and service providers.
