Protocol and privacy-wise: prefect. The only problem is that mobile clients are all garbage.
What exactly do you expect from mobile clients? I personally find them among the best, as they work well, look reasonably nice and use very little battery. Monocles and Cheogram are nice for Android (both free on F-droid) and Monal is ok for iOS.
I expect them to be on the level of other modern chat apps, not something barely working, hard to setup for most people and prone to failure at any point.
I tried Monal once, and let’s face it doesn’t even look close to any other basic iOS app, poorly designed, sometimes crashes and getting audio/video to work is just painful because of some bad taste decisions they’ve made.
I like Jabber and Monal a LOT and I hope they can replace the garbage that other IMs and Matrix is however the clients must be a bit better. Monal is a very good attempt, it is almost there but there are multiple pain points that won’t be acceptable for a regular user.
Well, on Android they are very much “on the level of other modern chat apps” and Monal has improved a lot in recent months 🤷♂️
