XMPP

XMPP, also known as Jabber, is an open standard for decentralized messaging that has been widely used for decades. It has actually been the basis upon which WhatsApp, Facebook's Chat and Google's Talk were built, but these companies (eventually) chose to remove the interoperability with other servers. Prominent XMPP clients support OMEMO end-to-end encryption, which is based on the Double Ratchet Algorithm that is used in Signal. For more hands-on information and to register an account you can visit JoinJabber.

    Remove Guus from iteam (#1717) Although I am listed as an iteam member, I've not acted in that capacity for years. I don't think I have access to any of the relevent systems, and if I would have, I'd be dangerous rather than effective.
