Seems centralized and doesn't rely on a standard. If I were you, I would forget this solution as well.

- sschueller 11y agoWhat else is there with a decent client that is open source?
- edhelas 11y agoOn Android you have Conversations (https://conversations.im/ https://conversations.im/) based on XMPP, good looking, nice battery optimizations, and supporting E2E encryption. And you have the XMPP federation behind.
- nickik 11y agoYou can set up your own server. They want to devlop a federated protocol. So they are the only ones that actually have stated a goal to devlop something like that. OWS would probebly do it as well if they had the time and money. They already have the best clients in the buissness, if they manage to get the crypto and the federation right, it would be fantastic. They also have some support for using their web and desktop clients with email. I wish the Actor guys the best of luck.
- edhelas 11y ago"They want to develop a federated protocol". There is already one, it's a IETF standard, deployed accross the globe and have already hundreds of clients and several serious servers : XMPP.
- nickik 11y agoI just restated what they said, if you are so convinced that XMPP would solve all their problems, then I suggest you go to them. I dought that they don't know already [1], and I also think they have put a lot of thought into spending their money on devloping everything again.
