    • Matrix and XMPP are not alternatives and are worse for privacy and security

    • Simplex Chat is actually is pretty sold but isn’t the most user friendly

    • Briar is very cool but its complexity makes it hard to use. It also has problems with real time communications

      Matrix and XMPP are not alternatives and are worse for privacy and security

      XMPP is exactly as good or bad for privacy as the servers and clients you choose. It’s a protocol, not a service. Unlike Signal, which is a brand/app/service package.

          The protocol is worse for privacy

          ‘Trust me bro’

          The problem is, you’re comparing apples with orchards. Analogous would be: ‘email is worse for privacy than yahoomail’. Plus in this scenario yahoomail only lets you send emails to yahoomail addresses.
