Welcome to JWChat.org

To fight SPAM we're now blocking some domains with the help of an automated real-time block list (RTBL) (see xmppbl.org for details). Message and presence stanzas from the domains listed will be blocked if they are coming from an account that is not in your roster. See List of blocked domains.

Found and fixed the reason for those frequent crashes. System's been much more stable ever since.

Started blocking bad acting clients that can't handle TLS/SSL correctly. If you're affected, get in contact so we can clarify.

Service is quite unstable at this point. I'm sorry for that. I'm working to make it more reliable.

We've completed moving servers and are now hosted on a new machine. Yay! Since yesterday there's a new version of ejabberd running (v24.07). There's been a bunch of problems after the switch since there's such a huge gap between versions. I hope, I've addressed most or at least the most severe ones. But I do observe a lot of broken connect attempts due to failed SSL/TLS handshakes. If you're one of those affected please get in contact with me, I'd love to have this sorted out.

Hello and welcome! This is work in progress. Please check back later to see what we're working on. We've just moved to new hardware and are rebuilding this whole service. We hope to provide some web based chat solution again soon. As well as open registration. Meanwhile if you run into any sorts of problems please join lounge@chat.jwchat.org and let me know. Alternatively you can contact me on Mastodon as @zeank@mastodon.social.
