It is battle tested, standardized, widely used, have open source servers and apps, end-to-end encryption (OMEMO), self-hostable and are low on ressources and federated / decentralized.
I use it with family and friends. Conversations and blabber.im on android and Gajim on Linux. There’s also apps for windows and Apple.
Curious if anyone here use it and why, why not?
EDIT: Doh. In these Lemmy times I forgot federated. Added.
Glad you asked. Check out the official XMPP site: XMPP getting started I can’t remember if OMEMO encryption is a part of it, but I would recommend setting it up. Enjoy! And don’t hesitate to ask if you hit some bumbs on the road!
