Was really hoping that matrix-bridges are an answer to my 4-separate-messaging-apps problem, but they are quite wonky and one of the bridges suddenly lost connection today and I was blissfully unaware. Guess I'll keep the 4 separate messaging apps.

I see a lot of people talk about XMPP like it is/was amazing and would still be a viable alternative to discord/slack/matrix/ect. I’ve heard it’s decentralized and I see a lot of clients out there but I don’t see any servers. Am I missing something? Are there only a handful of obscure servers out there? Can an XMPP server be self-hosted? Does XMPP only need clients? I am unfamiliar with the protocol and how it is used.

#WhatsApp has introduced channels, music in status etc. and has made WhatsApp into another social media and less of a mainstream #messenger.
👿 The bad:
• It is targeting people who are not on social media to be hooked.
• I feel there's a possibility of WhatsApp removing encryption in future , now that its even less serious form of messenger.
😈 The good:
• It seems to be so distractive and cluttered that it makes #signal , #simplex and other #floss options more attractive.

A new study (https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.10589) shows that 11 out of 21 “secure” messaging apps on Android leaked personal data via Google’s Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM):
📛 Usernames
📞 Phone numbers
🧾 Even full messages (Skype, Discord, JusTalk, WeChat)
✅ Only a few apps got it right, Signal stands out:
• No data leakage via FCM
• E2E encryption by default
• Open-source & nonprofit-backed
🇺🇸 Even Trump team used Signal.
