Best apps for private messaging (www.privacyguides.org)
submitted 2 weeks ago by Maragato@lemmy.world to c/opensource@lemmy.ml

Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

If you don't like Signal, SimpleX is also an option.
