My preferred xmpp app.
Been pondering federated xmpp, chat control, omemo and circumventing lately.

I think this is more sustainable than just sending a signal.

I would buy merch tshirts with "We are Infrastructure" printed on :D

While I totally understand your view (and know that you want to do the right thing), I feel that it would be better to make the impact as big (and obvious) as possible. First it will be Signal, then a few others, and finally Conversations. Maybe better to go for all-or-nothing from the beginning?

well, we appreciate Signal trying to make a difference with its public weight ahead of the oct14 chat control vote. Yes, Signal is centralized and running on gafam servers but it also was a key leading effort to make e2ee UX widely available ... and that is fundamentally threatened by #chatcontrol. Federated #xmpp or #email servers do not help against legislation that aims at apps and clients. This is a time to put all of our joint weight against chatcontrol, not gamble for exceptions.

Do you intend to maintain Quicksy as well? Does its link to a mobile phone number make it more vulnerable to hacking and/or control?
