I imagine that is slowly changing now since they’ve made that announcement. The only thing that was holding most people back from at least giving it a shot was the fact that it wasn’t open-source. I personally think it should be included at this point because it is privacy-focused alternative to WhatsApp.
I agree, thanks for pointing it out. Threema was in my hindsight, never in focus, but this changes things.
Although, I use XMPP and Matrix daily, so it is one of the most little mistakes I made in not considering each and every app in the discussion. I will apologise to myself for that.
I don’t think it’s very fair to leave Threema out of the discussion, now that they’re open-source.
Only the client is OSS. So it’s not free as in freedom, even though it is open source.
Threema has incomparably small userbase, so is not considered even in privacy community.
