Hi !
I’m wondering if the /e/ foundation has explored has explored providing XMMP servers supporting omemo, for those having /e/ accounts. If not, is it possible for it to be considered?
There are options like Signal, Threema and Matrix, but certainly for one reason or another, XMMP with omemo support (with clients encrypting everything, chats, voice messages, voice calls, video calls) keeps being the privacy champion, with way less metada leakage, not requiring phone number, and so on. Also the level of involvement of for profit orgs into the non profit orgs is fuzzy on some, and some that advertise themselves as open source at least, it’s questionable how their servers are really open, and on some federate, but when having to interact between different instances, in particular groups, then there’s a mess of metadata leaking… Or so I’ve come to understand after some reading…
So, although there are some non profit orgs offering free XMMP services, and also there ere paid services, I’d think by /e/ accounts offering XMMP services would make it easier not only adoption, but also the inconvenience of searching for the server, or even self hostig one, which not everyone can…
Hopefully this will be considered,
