    > Maybe they mean macOS, which is true, or iOS which is not You could still use converse over the browser.

    purplebeetroot: no omemo on files, keys issues, general instability (in my experience)

  3. purplebeetroot

    A blogpost how to use xmpp for e2e encrypted group chat and what are the pitfalls that can be avoided by doing xyz could be usefull.

  4. Licaon_Kter

    There's no how to use, open private chat....chat.

  5. purplebeetroot

    Then people are likly better served with Matrix (until fixed). UX for e2e encrypted group chat is so bad, that some don't see any UX at all. (hence the systemli blogpost)

  6. Licaon_Kter

    purplebeetroot: what? Do link to where they complained about that? There's no such info there... For what is worth maybe they tried Pidgin and that sucked

  7. purplebeetroot

    "[XMPP] also does not offer a usable option for encrypting group communication (E2EE)." Full blogpost here: https://www.systemli.org/en/2021/01/25/new-service-modern-messenger-matrix/

  8. purplebeetroot

    They suggest this client usage: ' For using Jabber, there are different ones. For example Gajim (Windows/Linux), Monal (OS X), ChatSecure (iOS) oder Conversations (Android)." https://www.systemli.org/en/service/xmpp/

  9. Licaon_Kter

    Gajim, ChatSecure and Conv have OMEMO in MUCs > It also does not offer a usable option for encrypting group communication (E2EE). So much info, so much wow

  10. purplebeetroot

    ...yes. What's true is that people regularly complain about not being able to fetch a key. Communicating this issue more open and how to circumvent it, might increase the UX and the opinion of systemli.

  11. Licaon_Kter

    Didn't say there aren't any issues, but...

  12. purplebeetroot

    ...we should comunicate them more openly, so that more people are aware how to avoid the pitfalls and by that have a nice UX instead of none/shity

  13. Licaon_Kter

    These are known issues in the ecosystem.
