devlug.de is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Some people would argue, that #XMPP is broken, too, esp. the #OMEMO 1 vs. OMEMO 2 situation. But it is probably less broken than Matrix, and definetively better to fix due to its extensible protocol design…
I'm using #slidge by @nicoco to use Matrix from my #Jabber client. Can't say, if it is better than the #ejabberd solution, b/c I never tried the latter. But works for me! But have at least one client with adhoc commands available, e.g. #Gajim or #Profanity!
As others pointed out, #Kaidan cannot be recommended ATM. It might be much better by end of this year.
I have all non-geek friends and family on #Conversations, #Monal, and especially on #Quicksy, while I'm on #Gajim and #Dino.
Works pretty well.
Signal on the other hand is completely unusable for me, as it requires an Android or iOS phone, which I don't have/want, even for their desktop client. (Also, I'm on an AWS #detox right now. Sorry, Jeff B.!)

Ich stelle mir beispielsweise E-Mail-Verschlüsselung mit PFS sehr unschön vor. Besonders dann, wenn auch noch mehrere Personen Zugriff auf das Postfach haben.
Wie stellt ihr euch denn die Umsetzung von einer E2EE mit PFS vor, wenn man ein E-Mail-Postfach hat, auf dem 3 Personen zugreifen können?
#XMPP kann beispielsweise mit und ohne PFS verwendet werden. Im Client #Gajim kann man auch pro Account seinen bevorzugte Verschlüsselungsmethode verwenden. Finde ich super.
Aber mal ganz abgesehen,... wir sprechen bei #OpenPGP ( #GnuPG ) von einem offenen Standard und Freier Software. Wenn man dann Dinge hört wie "muss verschwinden" oder "nicht verwenden" finde ich dies sehr unhöflich gegenüber denen Menschen, die sich versuchen dafür einzusetzen. Solche Aussagen fördern kein Stück die Verwendung von E2EE, ganz im Gegenteil!

Gajim 2.0.0 has been released 🎉
Gajim migrated its user interface toolkit to GTK 4, which brings performance improvements and sets the ground for great features to follow. ⏩
Additionally, this release brings improved image previews, better tools for fighting spam, and much more.
All of these changes were only possible by touching a lot of Gajim’s code base, and we appreciate all the feedback we got from you. ❤️
