Open directory of public XMPP servers has been created to allow server administrators to provide their servers without preconditions. The only important criteria for adding a site to this directory is that the XMPP server is public and clearly points to this.
It is not our task to create closed lists for the self-appointed elite. We believe that users should choose the right server for themselves, and not rely on someone else's limited opinion
XMPP is a federated network and there is contention between servers. Many times we have been denied inclusion in the lists of XMPP servers, the owners of which position themselves as "for everyone". The reasons for the refusal were sometimes not given, sometimes they were ridiculous. Because some of the reasons are quite funny, you can smile a little and see them here:
Your server allows you to display files that are too large. Reduce the size of allowed files, to the size of my server
Your server is not old enough. Earn respect on the streets!
I will add your server to the list, but I will come up with a negative review because it does not accept my invalid certificate
This is an open list for a select few. I only add my friends to the list
You must be homosexual to be added to this list.
Your server runs on gasoline. We accept servers powered only by electricity
The purpose of creating this server directory is to provide users with complete freedom of choice without any manipulation of opinions, and for server administrators a place free from any preconceived opinions and human factors. We refuse any evaluation of sites to be added to the list. The purpose of the directory is to provide freedom of information to visitors, not misinformation bubbles
Screenshot: When compiling a biased list, the importance of unimportant criteria increases. As an example In this biased list, for some unknown reason, a number of fairly well-known and large servers fell into the list of bad servers. Listing by dubious, unverifiable criteria and fictional (privacy, logging, reptilian loyalty) is one of the favorite ways to manipulate opinions.
Notes: * A high certificate class does not always indicate the correct choice. Older devices may not support modern encryption. Servers adapted for older devices and operating systems may have a lower certificate class, while modern encryption will be available for new devices, and old encryption is available for older devices * Location shows the location of the website. ** The location of the website and the server are most often the same, but there may be exceptions
List XMPP servers
Servers adapted for communicating with friends and relatives
The common servers for communicating with friends, family, colleagues, classmates. If you talk with people who know you, the servers is the right choice for you.
Clearnet XMPP servers adapted for user from Tor & I2P
This section was created at the request of visitors who wish to separate servers have darknet sites from the general list
Does using a server with darknet mirror improve security?
No, and may even weaken privacy protections [1]. Real dark web servers uses isolated [2] onion hidden services designed to obscure the server address to prevent data seized in the event of a court-ordered denial of data transfer. Using hidden services for clearnet servers doesn't technically make sense[3] This is not a tool for the anonymity of visitors, but rather a tool for the anonymity of the server, which is what the name of the "hidden service" implies, but some pure XMPP servers use the presence of a Tor & I2P to get the PR of dark web users.
This is servers with special "Acceptable Use Policy" adapted for user from Tor & I2P
However, servers with a darknet mirror are still in demand among some visitors. What is the reason for this? Special "Acceptable Use Policy.
Many servers avoid using Darknet mirrors due to excessive abuse, lack of bulletproof hosting, legal collisions and etc. If you univocal need a server that is pre-configured to use special audience from darknet, this section is probably noteworthy for you
Reference: [1] Everyone knows that governments have a negative attitude towards the launch of darknet mirrors. Due to the controversial legal status of the Tor network and I2P the security of darknet users is not regulated by privacy laws. The server cock.li refuses to provide the data of one user and the data of all users is seized, this event repeats every few years. Such a policy, while liked by some users, actually reduces overall privacy for users especially who do not use encryption an not used mirrors at all [2] Real darknet servers don't have a clearnet domain [3] This increases the anonymity slightly for those who are already anonymous and using only text messages. When sending files, video calls and audio calls, the mirror is not used and the clearnet domain is used for compatibility with the other clearnet users
Notes: * This list is not intended added real darknet XMPP servers. True darknet servers are completely isolated on the darknet and do not federate outside of this Tor & I2P network.** "Did I search for a list of darknet servers on the clearnet? where can i find this list?" - in the darknet *** The section does not include servers that do not have a site in the dark web for any reason **** Cock.li server is included in the list, even despite the lack of free registration. Registration on cock.li is available through invitations.The reason for inclusion in the list is that, despite the lack of free registration, this server has an epic history of confrontation, so it's impossible not to make an exception. ***** The section randomly collects servers randomly, regardless of the presence / absence or site in the dark web
XMPP Servers list management
Add new XMPP server
Remove domain name
Add & Update data XMPP server from the list:
Send e-mail to support@404.city with email header: 'ADD SERVER: example' or 'UPDATE SERVER: example.com'.
The body of the letter can be empty or add your comment. Be brief. Attachments are not viewed. Sites are excluded from the list if they are unavailable at the time of the update. Deleted site can be added again. The added site must contain an explicit indication that this is a public XMPP server on the main page and have either a registration form or instructions for creating an account in XMPP client. If the server being added contains several domains, list them in the body of the letter.
