Gajim VS JMP.chat

If you want something that's more of a Slack/Discord alternative, gajim is receiving a lot of attention and polish lately, with Dino and Beagle as simpler alternatives. Source: over 1 year ago

I used Pidgin back in the day of AIM and ICQ, but nowadays, for XMPP, there’s Dino and Gajim for desktop and Conversations.im for Android. As far as I know, OTR has been superseded or replaced by OMEMO in most clients. Source: over 1 year ago

You can get a number from jmp.chat and use an app like Gajim (available on Windows/Mac/Linux). Source: about 2 years ago

On the desktop I use the gajim XMPP client. On my phones I use Conversations and Blabber (the latter is a fork of Conversations), and all messages between clients are encrypted with OMEMO. Source: over 2 years ago

SMS isn't encrypted and its a pretty insecure and outdated technology nowadays, and if you're using it through Google Voice, Google will 100% have full access to your texts and calls through the number, which is obviously pretty horrible for privacy, especially with Google's terrible reputation and track record. If privacy is your concern, I'd recommend JMP. Its very... Source: 10 months ago
