A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Would be interesting to see how this compares to XMPP or Matrix. Obviously the development costs something for each of those, but the hosting costs are spread out across each of those hosting an instance.
Forgive the ignorance but does xmpp have the same features as signal, particularly around e2e encryption?
It's possible to implement XMPP with E2E encryption, there are at least 2 ways to do it.
But of course it only works if both users use a client and server that support it.
Worth mentioning that most modern clients support omemo at this stage.
