XMPP + OMEMO (E2E encryption), no doubt. Open standards, multiple implementations, cross-platform and it mostly just works. Light on the server, "maintenance-free". Conversations on Android, Gajim or Dino-IM on desktop.
I tried Matrix but found it to be more complicated without adding significant functionality.
- dngray 2y ago> more complicated without adding significant functionality This simply is untrue. Having first class E2EE that covers VOIP and all features (eg Matrix, Signal etc) like that is obviously a benefit. Essentially you can't "use Matrix/Signal wrong" and realize later your communications weren't E2EE, you certainly can with XMPP.
- Tmpod 2y agoWhile that's certainly the plan, Matrix is still not at the "can't use it wrong" stage Signal has gotten to. Verifying multiple devices is still inconsistent and often requires multiple tries (may be an issue with the matrix.org server, dunno) and "Unable to decrypt" errors are still somewhat a common sight. It has gotten much better in recent times, but not quite there just yet.
