      It does not protect metadata and from timing attacks. It requires users to trust the servers and volunteers to run such servers. Instead Briar solves these 4 problems.

        Both have their uses, especially since Briar is not cross device and doesn’t support images/video (Edit: not yet, that release is expected soon).

        If you’re looking to get into XMPP “seriously” you can host your own for around $2USD depending on your host choice - adding more users is easy, and lets you keep things under one roof.

        I’ve been looking at Briar to try it out after the Signal changes, but don’t know if I can get friends over to it even if I like it. That’s not the end of the world, but could be a factor. I also have multiple devices, putting XMPP as a more likely canidate especially when it comes to messaging options.

    Not sure if Drew is being ironic, but what he describes sounds exactly like modern XMPP (and specifically not Matrix).

    A polished XMPP client for desktop and phone that supports darknet routing through multiple darknets and all the MAM protocols.

    This is all we need. Currently we have Conversations (best), Psi (feature filled), Gajim and Dino (barebones), but they need to get better.
