the only feature I need about encryption is to be enabled when I think it is necessary (when the conversation is sensible)

Look at what we are doing just know, our conversation is not encrypted and all is fine.

How many people criticise the security of #xmpp + #omemo, which they say isn't strong enough, and continue to send unencrypted emails to gmail users? 🤔

"XMPP: the forgotten gem of Instant Messaging"

Instant messaging is dominated by mainstream apps today, each with their own ecosystems, closed protocols, and business models based on data collection and user engagement.

I don't understand why #xmpp has no more success?
There are many clients over all operating systems and hosting a server is not very complicated.
If you use activate some xep, you can get a secured solution to communicate.
For me, it's the good tool for instant messaging.

Imagine if #Firefox, #Chrome, and their derivatives could render Markdown, AsciiDoc, LaTeX, EPUB, and Gemtext as seamlessly as they handle PDFs. This could revolutionize the way we publish lightweight websites, making it as simple as dropping a text file into a directory.

Do you remember, several decades ago, when icons, buttons, logos, smileys.. were all stored in a unique gif or png image on your website ?

@aral @EU_Commission I don't understand the problem. It will impact only Apple's users.
I don't know how the EU could force Apple to manage web apps.
When Linux, several years ago, did not manage Flash applets for example. Nobody forced dev to manage them.
If decide to disable JavaScript in my browser, nobody forces me to enable it
