XMPP (just naming the protocol, because Conversations isn't the only client, and fuck smartphones):
Hands down the best option, despite having a reputation of being too hard for normies to understand, it really isn't that hard.
It has proper, proven end-to-end encryption, it's very lightweight, and it's just a chat protocol rather than a fucking spaceship like Discucked.
However, most clients suck.
Matrix:
Basically, current year corpo and poorly rewritten version of XMPP.
Funded by the Jews, trying really hard to mimick Discucked, decentralized on paper, but in practise there's heavy reliance on the matrix.org server because almost everyone uses that, and matrix.org is Cuckflared, which is a major security issue.
Plus the server side soft is bloated as fuck, meta-data leakage happens all the time, though the plus side is that it has end to end encrypted chatrooms, which no other platform or protocol has.
Also, even though other clients are out there, everyone is using Element because other clients are inferior (by design?), and Element is soyware written in Electron.
Despite the downsides, it's at least way way way better than most other chat software.
076 used to have a Matrix server before I joined this place, but apparently at some very random day the server got destroyed minutes after loli frog pointed out the authoritarianism in Australia and how that might be the future of Japan if we all continue to not stand up.
Jami:
My experience is that each person MUST use the exact same client using the exact same GUI library, exact same OS, and exact same version in order to communicate with one other.
Plus each OS comes with an entirely different UI despite being written by the same developers.
I had to explain using an Android screen how to start a chat on iOS by email, and the person on the other side didn't understand it, so I asked him to send screenshots, and as it turned out the entire UI is completely different.
What's more, when I tried the GTK version, it just crashes a few minutes later even when I just have it opened up and I'm doing nothing with it.
So Jami is literally unusable.
Delta chat:
Basically email turned into a chat platform.
Client is written in Electron, therefore it sucks.
Better just use a real email client with PGP encryption by default instead.
Tox:
Pretty decent alternative to XMPP, it's basically XMPP without a server in the middle, because it's P2P.
However, both sides need to be online in order to store messages, because due to the lack of a server, you can't just send messages to someone who's offline or they'll simply never arrive.
And it suffers from the same problem as XMPP and Matrix when it comes to clients; most just suck ass.
