I’m wondering what XMPP clients people use and what they like about each particular one.
Not that I am looking for one, really just wondering what people like to use. :D
EDIT: Also, more and more people around me are starting to use XMPP, so it is good to learn what to recommend for various use-cases.
Nowaydays XMPP uses OMEMO. It’s what Signal uses, but made to work with XMPP and with a different name for legal reasons.
OTR is not what you should use nowadays, it’s been broken.
XMPP hasn’t been very mobile friendly around a decade ago, which has in large part been due to OTR, which only works with two devices and both have to be online. Also, there hasn’t really been support for offline message storage.
A lot of other things have improved and nowadays XMPP is pretty much the most battery friendly option out there and Conversations can even be a UnifiedPush provider. Which makes sense as both Google’s and Apple’s push implementations are based on XMPP, so we know it works well.
