I have often wondered why everyone simply doesnt use Pidgin OTR ... or OTR for every communication

  Because the UI/UX is terrible, and XMPP is not mobile friendly at all

    Being ugly and functional is fine with me. Pretty and exploitable seems a bit silly as a reason for use. Pidgin does so much more than xmpp

    Hmm, what is not mobile-friendly with, say, Conversations ?
    • 693471 7y ago
      It's not an app that can be awakened by a push notification.

        What ? https://github.com/siacs/Conversations/issues/1759 https://github.com/siacs/Conversations/issues/1759

    That is a big fat lie right here.

      No it's not, setting up proper push notifications (Google/Apple) with XMPP is a nightmare and the XEP is not well supported anyway
      • Andrew_nenakhov 7y ago
        This is not true. XEP-0357 is very well supported by any modern XMPP server, and setting it up is easy. There are many issues with XMPP but push notifications is not one of them. Source: we are releasing an XMPP client for iOS soon.
