   What's the current consensus on secure decentralized chat apps? We still on IRC/Jabber/Jitsi or is that all old news?

   Apparently people are thinking that storing a copy of the Signal app will be enough to prevent fascists from shutting down secure comms. But of course, Signal is centralized so it'd be relatively easy to shut it down server-side. And while the code is all open, Signal has gone out of their way to shut down other projects trying to build on that code, so it probably would not be easy to make use of that at this point...

   So should I just back up some Jabber apps and throw a server together or what? :)

     @admin I use Jabber/XMPP. I've set up a server for family & close friends and we're happy with it
