<p><ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XMPP">XMPP</a> provides secure instant messaging with features such as media integration, read receipts, server-side history, multi-user chat rooms and most importantly, end-to-end encryption.</p>
<p>lain.church runs a <ahref="http://prosody.im/">Prosody</a> server to provide XMPP accounts to the community, tied into one's main lain.church account. Said server supports, among others, the following <spantitle="XMPP Extension Protocols"style="border-bottom:1px dashed #999">XEPs</span>:</p>
<p><ahref="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gopher_(protocol)">Gopher</a> is an early and extremely simple hypertext protocol pre-dating HTTP. lain.church provides Gopher 'holes' for users as part of GitLain. A repo named 'gopherhole' in a user's account will be served as a directoru on the lain.church gopher server. For example, <ahref="https://git.lain.church/tA/gopherhole">tA/gopherhole</a> is served as <ahref="gopher://lain.church:70/ta">gopher://lain.church:70/ta</a>. This service is available to all users.</p>
<p>In the future, these gopherholes will also be served over HTTP(S) as <ahref="https://gopher.lain.church">gopher.lain.church</a>.</p>
