@fatboy @stevenroose btw, just checked blabber.im app, and it pretty straightforward.after making friends go to signal, I'll test it with one of my friends

@fatboy @stevenroose rethinking, what would be the security benefits for using xmpp on public servers vs using signal?

@stevenroose @fatboy basicaly signal is designed to run on evil cloud servers, it means that most of your meta data is encrypted,which is super important.XMPP isn't good with that, all metadata, including who and how much your talking is available to the server owner.added with spam, it seems like a bad option for normal people.you're right about the scaling cost, but they have good funding and whatever else,xmpp small servers shut down all times.most normies like the phone number thing.

@stevenroose I understand your intention, and federation would be a good step(signal's developer moxie declared he won't do it).it is some kind of way to turn off the fire for some time.most ideal is a secure p2p messenger which would scale, work all time won't eat your battery.

@stevenroose it is a nice starting point, but I can't see this app, even in future replaces mainstream messenger,it is slow, eats your battery, and features like voice and video calls won't probably be possible because it uses tor.it is mainly for special extreme use cases

@moparisthebest @stevenroose @fatboy @silmathoron they don't encrypt your meta datayou would need to pay in order to put other xmpp addresses so newbs will see you.signal seems better when you don't have close friends to run a server for you...

@moparisthebest @stevenroose @fatboy @silmathoron well, lets say they just promised,its still better then nothing.https://quicksy.im/#get-listedthis is for the paying, it could federate, but non tech savvies won't do it.

@stevenroose @moparisthebest @fatboy @silmathoron he is used to just see the person out of his contacts, if not, the whole point of phone numbers is useless...would he know or have the willing to know what is jid?I'm not sure...

@stevenroose sounds great, still, I don't see anybody starting taking those trade offs, I wish it would be possible with xmpp threw,if it would be that easy I would just host my own tor xmpp server, and the calls will go threw the public stun/turn.this would be enough for me and lots of normies...having tor behind a firewall seems super easy

@stevenroose continuing this unending discusssion, just downloaded delta chat and it also seems very straitforward, the remainng question is if this is beteer thn signal and xmpp when gmail is being used by most people.it has very good encryption.how important is the metadata here?

@mattj yes, it's right.But if such amount of users would join xmpp community servers, it would be down
