Hey people of the great Fediverse :) - We are releasing a new project that you might find interesting (we worked a lot on) - trom.tf/

In essence we provide free alternatives to Youtube, Facebook, Google Search and the like. And we release today. We even have a live about it in a few hours - tromsite.com/live/

Here's the list o what we provide:

Friendica with open registrations and we plan to keep it open forever
Nextcloud with 3GB storage + ability to add external storage; together with Only Office and a few other tools
Peertube with unlimited uploads (restricted to 2GB a day so we don't blow up the server) + Live + video conversion + a few plugins

Since you claim your friendica will have "no bans", won't it get full of spam, neonazis, religious extremists and child abusers?

We hope not...but we will see. Thing is if we start banning where do we draw the line? On top of this, people have tools to stay away from these "bad" things. But lets see how it evolved. We really want no bans and I'd rather combat the nonsense on the platform, with some sense. Like I'd flood them with science haha.

Thanks! We do not have a single sign-on. If possible we will add one but is something we did not test. Click any service and create an account on each.

I really like the "more info" box about these services. It explains the service really well, with relevant screenshots and all. Good job 👍

About the services itself, they're all really nice open source tools. And your customized interface looks very well. My only request here would be to make these customizations more optimized for mobile. I know that you're not a big fan of mobiles, so its fine if you don't prioritize it. Just do it when you have the time/motivation to do so 😁. Also all your other sites are well optimized for mobile, so I hope this'll reach there with time.

Trade-free self hosting is an act of compassion ❤

Thanks! And yes I will optimize them for mobile too, but for the next weeks I'll be busy with a lot of other stuff. But is on my list. I understand! ;)

XMPP is what I have to deeply look into. Heard about it a lot but never had the time/motivation to dig deep into. But for sure we will! We have just started ;)

@Tio @Ingo Jürgensmann is it running Yunohost, then it has xmpp running anyway, it some as a default for each domain.

Yes ynh, but am not sure xmpp is configured properly with any domain. I don't even understand xmpp that well tbh. I know is a communication protocol like email but a lot more complex.

We could add the JavaScript XMPP Chat to Nextcloud.

I think is best for now at least, to keep our "files" as files without chats. To be geared for files rather than chats. But please add it to our Deck ;) - we can keep track of these over there for sure! I also love movim.eu/ and I plan to test it more, alongside Hubzilla.

Then I will test the 3 separate YunoHost apps: Converse, Movim, Biboumi.

So basically we can have an xmpp domain that anyone can use to create xmpp accounts as simple as that? As I said, this is really new to me.

@Tio @Ingo Jürgensmann there is usually no config needed, just set the needed DNS records as YunoHost suggests for at least only domain. Preferably for trom.tf, it does not need to have the A or AAAA record pointing to the server, but it is easier if that is the case.

@Ingo Jürgensmann YunoHost comes with Metronome, it is usually fully interegrated with the other services, so same login if the services utilize the single signon. But Yujoahost also has Synapse and Element as optional services, 5 mimutes and they are up and runing. @Tio @Alexio

@Ingo Jürgensmann @Tio @Alexio any YunoHost user can use XMPP with its credentials, same credentials as for email or Matrix (Synapse) or NextCloud. In the usual setup.

We have to look into these for sure. We barely started we can't overload ourselves too much but we will for sure provide a lot more such services ;)

Yup I understand that, but how to allow anyone to simply register an xmpp account with us?

We do. We get help through donations since 2013 for our main tromsite.com project. We also have a Liberapay account and would encourage people to support if they can liberapay.com/TROM/ - we need more support.

I have contemplated adding ejabberd to my own Friendica instance but haven't so far because I don't know how much resources it would consume. What is your experience on resource usage/requirement for ejabberd?

@Ingo Jürgensmann Ah cool. Yeah, my Friendica instance only has one user (me) so that would probably not add too much overhead. For me it is more about being possible to contact me via "any" protocol. Sounds great, I have been tweaking my Friendica server (nginx/mysql tuning, NVMe SSD's etc) quite a bit over the last week, and now it feels even faster/snappier than Facebook/Twitter whilst also lowering resource usage, so figured I could probably put some more things on that server without breaking it. 2 vCPU/2GB ram.

I think calling is not supported on #Metronome in #Yunohost and even using xmpp without fail2ban for large user base is dangerous.
Keep it simple and use apps without LDAP for now.

@Ingo Jürgensmann ah yes, I already do have a "regular" (@anonym.im) account. I have only used it for testing single e2ee communication though, I actually didn't know that XMPP had support for groups. Now I have to work out where those groups are, hehe.

It should be noted I'm doing all of these set-ups and tweaking etc because I'm interested in how it all works etc. It would probably be simpler to just "join" things at different places, but hey, where's the fun in that? :D
