Best apps for private messaging

submitted by Maragato to opensource 115 points | 87 comments https://www.privacyguides.org/en/real-time-communication/ Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services. privacyguides.org/…/real-time-communication.webp Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?
