@thegibson Elon is full of shit. Both #Telegram & #Signal (1) require phone numbers to use their service, (2) are centralized, (3) do not allow users to run their own servers that interface with other servers on the network, & (4) Signal implemented a cryptocurrency in their app behind everyone's back meanwhile Telegram was trying to publicly put a cryptocurrency in there. I don't use these for the above reasons. ^_^
#XMPP is solid. @simplex is doing interesting work in this space. #SimpleX
