#2For a second I thought I read "Deno" instead of "Dino" and got extremely confused at why Deno was going into the video chat space.
Anyways, nice milestone for Dino! I still gotta try out the solution one day.

#3Ever since Google Talk stopped supporting Jabber, I quickly ran out of anyone to talk with. I talk with friends on Signal, I talk with FOSS projects on IRC or Matrix, and I occasionally set up ad-hoc video conferences using Jitsi Meet, but I have zero Jabber contacts left.
If you use Jabber today, who are you talking to and on what server(s)?

#4Great! Dino is my XMPP client of choice, it's good to see a new release.
My partner and family use https://quicksy.im/ which is an XMPP client that uses their phone number as username, to give it a "convenient as WhatsApp/Signal" feel.
I run the mobile UI branch https://github.com/dino/dino/tree/feature/handy on my Pinephone.

#5What is the latency on this? Still looking for a call solution that makes you feel like you‘re in the same room…

I use Jabber everyday to talk to my partner and family. They use https://quicksy.im/

I run my own server, I am talking to some friends on https://jabber.fr and I refer non-technical people (family, mostly) to https://quicksy.im.
(I will add that Jitsi Meet kind of counts as Jabber use, although not in the traditional sense)

#8This is great, I knew this was in development for a while, but I did not expect it to land this early. 1 to 1 audio/video calls using Conversations and other apps work already perfectly, but group video chat using standardized technology was really missing from the ecosystem, I am glad that this is now done.

Friends and family all use XMPP via Conversations and/or Dino. I also join a few channels of FOSS projects on Matrix or IRC with a bridge. You can even bridge calls to SIP and PSTN via https://jmp.chat/.
I run my own server (any 5 bucks VPS can do), but there is a large number of public servers that also work good. Make sure to pick one with a good ranking at https://compliance.conversations.im/

#10I run a group chat for my family. I recently switched my server from running plain Prosody to Snikket. People with phones use the Snikket android app, but my kids that are too young for phones join in with Dino. Dino is a really nice client. Snikket is pretty good as a phone client... I think maybe there is a way to get push notifications working through the standard Android infrastructure which would be an improvement, but I haven't done that yet.
I guess the functionality isn't better (let's be honest, it's probably worse) than the proprietary alternatives, but for now the family is happy with it and I feel good about the extra privacy / lack of advertising / etc.
Really appreciate all the people that put in the work to make this possible. Great work Dino team.
