Hey :) Did you tried modern XMPP clients like Conversations, Dino and Movim (I'm the maintainer of this one)?

GyYZTfWBfQw • Mar 24, 2018 • View on HN

Haha, how about XMPP, using Gajim? Good times!

Arathorn • Jan 2, 2020 • View on HN

thanks :) (you can always use XMPP via Matrix via Bifröst - just sayin' ;D)

Don't forget XMPP, and Jami as the hope.

jitsi does. who uses anything else for xmpp nowadays?

SamWhited • Dec 13, 2016 • View on HN

Gajim and Conversations have already implemented it.

if all you need is the chat you can use any pretty much every XMPP client, Pidgin for example.

Why would I use this instead of XMPP and OTR?

If you use XMPP checkout https://jmp.chat/ .
