Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

Right now, the open source community has so many different ways to communicate.

The problem is what is the goal, privacy or security.

All seem to have benefits and problems.

I use conversations and delta chat. I don't know what is best. But it is better that anything that is owned by big corps.
