@dansup that’s what I’m doing for Jabber/XMPP 👻

(Not my idea)

#xmpp #greatInvitations

Aaaand it’s released! 🥳

Ejabberd 26.01 ships a new module `mod_invites` that lets you create invites to either make it easier for others to add you to their contact list or create new accounts. Or both!

Large PR is large.

#greatInvitations #ejabberd #xmpp #nlnet

Turns out, I overlooked a tiny little bit in the specification of XEP-0379, that adds another 2-3 days of work. 😫💩

We’re getting there!

Rounding off by circling back to #XMPP, where @zeank is working to bring invite support (#GreatInvitations) to #ejabberd 📮

Practically, this means another of the major XMPP servers will support a mechanism for people to create accounts more easily and without too many hurdles, while letting server operators keep signups invite-only or moderated in some way to avoid spam 🤖
