I want to stop using WhatsApp because I fuckin hate it. Does anyone use XMPP regularly? It allows encryption so I was considering it.

The consideration is whether I will have to self host it or I can use some publicly hosted instances (like how there are open Matrix instances). Also whether it has support for desktop clients that run natively on Loonix without electron.

Please share your thoughts if you have experience. Feel free to suggest other alternatives too. I won’t mind that.

    I manually exported and imported the keys and it worked fine after that. So I don’t have to use element anymore.

      Nice. I think I did do that once a while back too, so maybe key exchange isn’t working properly.
