We estimate that by 2025, Signal will require approximately $50 million dollars a year to operate—and this is very lean compared to other popular messaging apps that don’t respect your privacy.

Forgive the ignorance but does xmpp have the same features as signal, particularly around e2e encryption?

[-] erwan@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago

It's possible to implement XMPP with E2E encryption, there are at least 2 ways to do it.

But of course it only works if both users use a client and server that support it.

Worth mentioning that most modern clients support omemo at this stage.
