>>fg-7VLBHAB3 calling telegram FOSS is a bit misleading, as the server side is proprietary. I would recommend signal instead, which is entirely libre. As for me I use signal and Matrix for 90% of my communication. GNU jami also seems promising but right now Matrix seems more usable.

>>fg-FBRS5LVG (OP) xmpp. matrix is bloated and dogshit, there are not other clients other than their dogshit electron app. xmpp is more lightweight and has a bunch of other clients that just werk and are independent from the protocol creators. telegram is centralized pozzed trash, and everything else is blatantly botnet. stuff like session and jami also suck cause they only have the one app that's made for phones

>>N4NFLOLL >propreitary server side You can't trust server side at all. Not your machine not your control. Signal is only better because of e2ee but it can still leak your metadata no matter what they say. Also they push you into the biggest botnet known to man: Google play services on Android. >Matrix & Jami now this is true upgrade

>>8XPS4O47 very true observations. >>fg-Q9523YHI there are about a million other clients for matrix other than element, the problem is that they're all fairly new and not really usable yet. I think eventually there will be a decent cli client but yeah as of now the element client is a big downside.

In an ideal world we would use XMPP. I used to try to reach this ideal world and even got a bunch of "normal" people to try it. But it was too prone to breakage. Matrix seems to work better, at least for now. There are valid concerns regarding it but I'll cope with it as long as we're leaving WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and whatnot behind.

XMPP for my fellow autists I only know online FB Messenger (via Caprine) for normies I know IRL >>fg-XRJZCJMG you can at least sandbox it. still not the best though

Anonymous 06/26/22(Sun)01:10:16 No. fg-IHCU2V09
How the heck is signal even an option?? It operates on phone numbers! Threema, wire, session, jami do not require phone numbers. XMPP is best.

Anonymous 06/26/22(Sun)09:18:47 No. fg-NJU7XD2N
>>fg-RT8RGP81 Its XMPP is better than Matrix but matrix has better clients and servers. Very few would be willing to host an XMPP server even for a closed group.
