Out of curiosity and getting off subject, what would you use today? Signal? I honestly can't think of another protocol that would check the same boxes as OTR for me: 1) real time 2) secure 3) open and trusted 4) on a desktop platform and 5) integrated with tools that allow me to do things like clip or archive those messages if necessary. Perhaps you can do these things with Signal or something else, but most other options seems either too centralized or too ephemeral.
- aidenn0 10y agoFWIW, XMPP has a double-ratched based upon the signal protocol called OMEMO.
- Tomte 10y agoI'm not surprised, XMPP has eveything. In twenty different variations each. Self-fracturing its community infinitesimally, because nobody has the same plugins for the same proposed XMPP extensions installed.
