Jami vs Skype: welcome to where your privacy matters

In an era when online communication is dominated by centralized platforms, Jami sets itself apart by offering a freer, more privacy-friendly approach. Like Skype and other similar services, Jami lets you make audio and video calls, one-to-one or in groups, exchange messages, share files and much more. However, unlike Skype, which relies on proprietary servers and collects personal data, Jami adopts a decentralized philosophy. Here are a few key differences that make Jami a unique alternative for users concerned about their autonomy and privacy.

    Not the same thing.

    In a few use cases they can overlap, but Jitsi is for ephemeral video conferencing, whereas Jami is an always-on messenger.

      I didn’t even know Skype has messenger features. I’ve only come across it as a really crappy (but good at dealing with firewalls) video conference thing. And evil, of course.
