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?

    Good to know… Well I am on matrix now, so no need to switch, but will keep in mind.

      At least you are on the continuwuity side of it, which is much more sane than hosting synapse (but you are missing out on many features I guess. If you get tired of this eventually, give ejabberd a shot, it’s self-contained with all features, including VoIP/AV calls.
