      Conversations is paid and has like 100k downloads, and it looks like it’s from Android kitkat. The other two don’t even exist on the app store. Do you consider these to be popular? I’m looking for actual popular apps, just like I can say Element for Matrix.

        Wat. Conversations is on F-Droid… and it’s the basis for Blabber, Cheogram, Monocles, etc. It’s the most influential XMPP application in the Android space.

          Literally never heard of any of those, or see any community link to them. Is that really what XMPP considers their most bleeding edge clients?

            Then you need to meet more communities 😅

            Also for the sake of chat, what’s something truly innovative since the heyday of AIM & IRC? There just isn’t many useful bells & whistles to be added in the last decade. The newer XEPs for stickers+message reactions have been out with some new clients picking them up, but these aren’t something fundamentally changing how folks speak.

                I was referring to the experience (encryption is usually felt as something transparent after it’s set up). However both Matrix & XMPP have e2ee even if the implementation isn’t identical (OMEMO allows per device).

                What is “asymmetric communication”? Only one side can talk?

      Gajim, Profanity. There’s probably a Weechat plugin. There’s also handful of JS ones, but I like the polish of Movim (and it’s also a client for an entire decentralized social media platform if you want it to be).
