I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.
I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.
Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

@debacle @TheDorkfromYork I’m still waiting for #gajim 1.9 to be available under #archlinux … (I don’t want to install the flatpak). Yes #xmpp is the way and #quicksy help me convert some people.
Snikket seems nice as well.
Jabber and XMPP aren’t really alternatives as they are just protocols. They don’t have a stable feature set and aren’t necessarily encrypted by default.

The by default is the problem
@possiblylinux127
That’s a good point, many don’t get it.
It’s a protocol. Not a platform or single program.
XMPP isn’t an alternative to telegram or whatever.
One must name and use a specific client, or a group of clients.
Like I use conversations as signal/whatsapp alternative.
