Some real progress made today, just when I was about to give up...
1. I now have a (private) #Prosidy #XMPP server set up on my #VPS, along with desktop and mobile clients using #OMEMO for E2E #encryption. Feels good to have a reliable, secure and #decentralised chat solution I have complete control over...
2. I've persuaded two family members to try out @session, which seems to be working nicely so far.
@techit
Yes, it's decentralised which is the main reason I like it. And it also doesn't require phone numbers (though I believe Signal are currently working to introduce this feature soon as well). I wouldn't replace Signal yet as it's more developed and established, and it took me quite a while to get family and friends to use it. But maybe the future is Session or even something else. I also wish I could use my private XMPP server more - 1/2
but nobody I know is very interested. I need more friends who are passionate about FOSS! @techit - 2/2
@syntax the same for me
@syntax @session would you consider it a better and decetrelized replacement to signal?
