Fragmentation of clients? What?</p><p>My sense is that it's this: when one goes to store an XMPP address in one's addressbook, there doesn't seem to be standard way to store an XMPP address. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> doesn't have that as an allowable field, and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Thunderbird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Thunderbird</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Nextcloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nextcloud</span></a> have an "Instant Messaging" field, where the type can be set to "XMPP".

MenelHi <span class="h-card"><a href="https://mastodon.social/users/KileyT" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@KileyT@mastodon.social</a></span> welcome,<br>This is a complicated topic all in all.<br><br>Signal is much much better then any other centalized chat provider out there, well there is threema too, which is comparable and not located in a country that has a fashist coup currently.<br>The main critic on centralized services like signal is, that is is in fact one central entity and you have to trust them and all data of every user goes through that single vendor. Signal does some things to minimize the data they know about you, but in the end they still have data of all connections of every user and it wouldn't be hard to deanonymize users and also who talks to who, if the server were compromised. (still better then whatsapp, since they use the data for marketing <b>now</b> and not hypothetically)<br><br>With xmpp you don't have to trust a single entity. You still have to trust your server operator, but you can choose them yourself (or be them yourself). You also can choose your client (the program you use to interact)<br>That's about it.<br><br>If you want a foot in the door of a federated service like xmpp without the initial friction, you can use quicksy, it is in the apple store too and it is nearly monal, but you register with your phone number and people can find you like the do with whatsapp and signal. But you register again on only one server.<br>But normal monal users or users with other clients (on android the client could be "conversations" for example) can still talk to you from any server.<br><br>If you use monal they need to know your xmpp ID ( name@servername.org ), same as an email address.<br><br>You could find some curated list of recommended servers at <a href="https://joinjabber.org/docs/servers/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://joinjabber.org/docs/servers/</a><br>Selfhosting is an option too, or managed selfhosting, they have some links for that too.<br>If you are already registered you can find some public rooms at <a href="https://search.jabber.network" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://search.jabber.network</a><br><br> It isn't easy to start with this. Signal is still better then many others.

Bhante Subharo<p>After taking a closer look at <a href="https://c.im/tags/XMPP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XMPP</span></a> clients for the <a href="https://c.im/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> desktop, there's this frustrating "tie" for finding a favorite. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Dino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Dino</span></a>, which is likeable for being able to do video and audio calls, only has limited support for multi-user chat (complete with fancy moderation tools). These audio and video calls it can do are AMD64-only at this time.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Gajim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gajim</span></a>, which is likeable for being able to do multi-user chat well (with great moderation tools), alas, can't do audio and video calls to the other XMPP clients (like, say, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversations</span></a>, as they use a newer <a href="https://c.im/tags/WebRTC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebRTC</span></a>-based method now).</p><p>So there's this strange situation where one is tempted to use both at the same time.</p><p>My takeaway is that <a href="https://c.im/tags/Conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Conversations</span></a> for <a href="https://c.im/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> is the only xmpp client that I would possibly and carefully recommend to family and friends at this time, as it can cover all of the above. (<a href="https://c.im/tags/Monal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monal</span></a> on <a href="https://c.im/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iOS</span></a>/#MacOS only has "partial" support for Multi-user chat, BTW.)</p><p>Yes I'm aware of the existence of Snikket, Quicksy, and Prav. No need to chime in on those.</p>

maple<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@joshim" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>joshim</span></a></span> I took a quick look at mov.im and if you are willing to use someone else's server that one may be a good choice, since they don't ask for much and in particular they don't appear to ask for a phone number! If they are truly free to use, then if people want to use <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/xmpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xmpp</span></a> but don't want to self host that's probably one of the best places to send them.</p><p>I would personally recommend <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Gajim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gajim</span></a> rather than <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Monal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Monal</span></a> but then again I never use a phone for that type of messaging, so I don't know if Gajim is even available for phones.</p><p>I'm going to spoil <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@uexo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>uexo</span></a></span> 's day and say this might even be easy enough for many non-techie types. I'm surprised the <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/xmpp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>xmpp</span></a> proponents don't mention it more often. Then you only have to overcome the problem than many people have never heard of xmpp, so may or may not trust it.</p>
