Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

Tox, where is TOX ? Why it's not mentioned in the article ? It's te most private messaging app, no other app can be more secure.

A thats cool. I used it for a while as a skype(hah!) alternative, but call quality is very low and it has no noise cancelling. Chat works though.
