XMPP is just the protocol, you can create a client which looks like any proprietary alternative like Discord (fluux tries to have the same look for example)

Movim is IMO the best alternative using XMPP and it's adding more and more features the last weeks stay tuned! see here

Just explain them their use of fallacies is wrong and communication is key and then, maybe, they will reconsider their position. If they don't then you dodged a bullet especially in the long term

I guess it's a blessing in disguise because now it will be easier to detect people who are not worth dating

In case Signal doesn't work or my contracts didn't receive the message I use XMPP with OMEMO encryption (I have a simple Prosody server on my home server) and DeltaChat (everybody has an e-mail address)

DeltaChat is only to tell people "hey I sent you a message, answer! 🙂

When I have no WIFI or Internet access I still have Briar but I use it rarely

Yes, the Signal protocol uses the Double Ratchet algorithm to provide PFS. Over all it is the best messenger app there is currently in terms of privacy -> https://soatok.blog/2024/07/31/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-signal-competitor/

Even if Signal cannot access anything you share on it, it has major flaws for me:

• hosted in the USA on AWS, enemies of international laws
• is not decentralised
• a phone number must be linked to your account

By the way my nickname is Saejima, a friend of Onizuka and Danma lol 😂

If an attacker decrypts one of your message, they can decrypt all your messages if you don't have Perfect Forward Secrecy so it's very important. With PFS, if the attacker decrypts one message, only this one will be decrypted

It does not even have PFS... Next!

2 more years and he'd be leet

I thought they were going to use AI to share their wealth /s

White Walkers' church

There is also mps-yt (deprecated I think) and ytfzf for YouTube and lobster for movies/TV shows

So if I understand correctly, they fire professional voice actors and replace them with grotesque AI voice bots. I hope there will be more fandubbing in the future
