Hi, in the last weeks I’ve started switching to alternative apps to better protect my privacy. Regarding instant messages I’ve started using Signal: I know it’s not the best one but it’s still better than Whatsapp. I’m trying to find a better alternative to Whatsapp, hopefully decentralized, but I’m having trouble, could you guys help me?

The app needs to have end-to-end encryption, one-to-one call and video call support and possibly easy to use (to make switching easier for family members and friends).

      I’ve tried XMPP (using conversations) and found it pretty good. Hopefully they’ll add call support soon so I can make a definitive switch. Thanks a lot for all the info, I didn’t knew that much about XMPP

      Thank you for your so detailed post. I see you are involved in xmpp, so maybe you know good manuals how to run own prosody server on raspberrypi with all modern xmpp features enabled? Like chat history, calls, muc, file transfer and so on? For family purpose.
