@dequbed again false, XMPP has e2ee in group chats and it usually works better than on Matrix, but admittedly that is a low bar and hopefully MLS will improve that further in XMPP soon.
@dequbed Uff... like every single sentence you wrote is either wrong or very outdated. XMPP has all those features, and group chats have significantly less issues such as incompatible rooms versions or broken e2ee like with Matrix.
@jackemled@kariboka@Sh4d0w_H34rt@joinjabber@nullagent@adele Nothing is "plain text", as everything is always transport encrypted. Together with a self-hosted xmpp server that is pretty good already, and OMEMO on top works just fine in most cases.
@its_a_me@bhhaskin The entire article has basically only one real point: e2ee isn't mandatory in XMPP. That's also basically Soatok's primary shtick, if it isn't mandatory e2ee, it's automatically bad. And they do have a point with centralized services that run on compromised infrastructure like Signal, but outside of that the argument for mandatory e2ee is much weaker.
@liaizon maybe with the exception of company developed software like Mastodon gGmbH, highlighting the nationality of just one of many open-source developers seems like a bad idea.
I think it might be interesting to have a column if the software is developed by a company, a non-profit, an informal community or a lone developer though.
