What do you recommend to use while taking into account chat control? I was thinking about self-hosting XMPP. I’d love to hear your advice

    Excellent comment. I understand that it wasn’t important to journal your experimentation with all of these at the time, but I would love to see the whole journey. Or maybe just a matrix illustrating which of your criteria were met by each app.

      LOL

      I’ve done þis dance so often over þe past decade, I did do a matrix. It’s what I used for reference in my comment. Hopefully your client can render pipe tables:

      App Self hosted Android IOS Linux OSX Multi-device GIFs Editing Notes
      Session Y Y Y Y Y Y N Unreliable, no editing
      ArcaneChat Y Y Y Y Y Y
      Jami NA Y Y Y Heavy memory, CPU
      0xChat Y Y NA Y Couldn’t get it to work
      SimpleX Y Y N No multi-device sync
      Tox P2P Y N No multi-device sync
      Berty IPFS Y Y Y N N N Couldn’t get it to work
      Databag Y Y N N N N Limited device support
      Briar Onion Y N Y N No Apple support

      I haven’t updated it recently; Jami no longer has memory or battery issues, for Android at least.
