       Let's assume you need to stay in touch with friends, colleagues, work partners in a secure way. Which secure and private messenger would you choose ? #privacy #security

       @Ajz i prefer #XMPP with well administrated servers using #OMEMO encryption.* compared to matrix, it has less resource limits.* has client diversity. for instance, there exist clients for the terminal and native GUI clients* compared to matrix, the end-to-end crypto is better. for instance, on matrix, currently only riot support end-to-end crypto. fractal for instance does not.* XMPP has better decentralization. matrix for instance has one huge server: matrix.org and many small ones.* XMPP has diverse developer culture, for instance XMPP hackathons and multiple XMPP servers who both work well.* it is more stable compared to signal. Signal is very difficult to use without a smartphone and the migration from one desktop client to another desktop client is difficult when you don't have access to your smartphone. in XMPP i can just create a new OMEMO key for the new device and everything is fine. (Both devices can be used simultaneously)#matrix #decentral #dezentral #signal

       @Ajz #matrix with Riot.- Good cross platform experience- self-hostable (you can own the data)- native e2ee- not reliant on phone numbers or personal info (although such functionality exists optionally for discovery purposes)- very busy community- federates with the rest of the matrix galaxyI may share my own experience of successfully running a small matrix (synapse) server for friends and family for a couple years now without any problems.Although *verification* with e2ee is currently a bit clunky (one has to independently verify each participating device with on each of their own devices), cross-signing (i.e. people verification instead of device verification) should be coming along in the coming weeks.
