  • That's their problem. If their messages aren't encrypted, it isn't like you won't be aware of it. Request that they use a modern client and get with the times. None of this is an actual problem without easy solutions.

  • Your reasoning would hold up if 80% of xmpp wasn't running on Conversations or forks of it, that all support OMEMO and OpenPGP.

    Your criticisms are too broad with few serious negatives. What makes extensions powerful is that they can easily change the rules without breaking the underlying system. If your client sucks, get another?

    You have choices, but if your problem is metadata, whoooo boy.

  • Xmpp is far lighter on resources and not ran by a company with funding issues.

  • I believe in it,... for now.

    I moved my family group to xmpp to have more personal control over our chats. Signal seems benevolent, but I've seen this play out before. Will it stay that way? We treat online forums with the idea that federstion works to stop enshittificstion. I believe XMPP is a good model for federating secure chatrooms for the same reason: People should control the voices of the people, not companies.

  • They see no value in it. They don't see that privacy is proactive measure that can protect you.

    On Facebook, especially in my family, accounts get lost and hacked. One fine day, it might be someone with more influence in the family who's attacker might make off with stolen bank information or passwords.

    but "that'll never happen", right?

  • Let's break down who's actually going to buy this piece of shit.

    Anyone with any experience with buying a modern Android phone?... Nope. Metro, Tello, US Cellular, etc are all cheaper than Trump Mobile by almost half the price and the phone itself is a REVVL variant selling for $500, and Apple fans aren't watching anyway.

    So that just leaves extremely uninformed people who don't know any better. You'll be able to identify how little they know by the fact that they'll pay double the going-rate of an MVNO for an overpriced, gold slab of feces.

    A lot of Apple fans are tied into their ecosystem, either by profession or just history with the brand. Any Android phone means upending their lives if they depend on their phones for business or pleasure, and a lot of them are Apple fans because Tim Cook keeps Trump 39.5ft away, so they're off the books.

    TL/DR: Get ready to see a bunch of boomers walk out of church with gold phones.

  • Right. At the end of the bullshit, the content still plays to completion if the user hits play. We can script and Ai and remove ads all day long after a program snags the feed.
