We’re better off with Matrix anyway.
Why not the internet standard XMPP? We need more standardization in instant messaging not more venture capital funded startups cooking up their own protocols.
I’ll stick with Matrix.
is XMPP end2end encrypted?
Yes. The most popular encryption method is probably OMEMO nowadays (the Signal encryption protocol for XMPP).
Not really. Signal is a walled garden but Matrix has a lot of a privacy issues.
Element and the Matrix team might move out of the UK if the legislation is passed
It’s expected, but I’d be sorry for them. To move the company and the people would require big expenses.
@zakiuem @ParanoidFactoid wow. I figured that’d be the case, but it just goes to show how catastrophic this legislation is
☹️
