Hello everyone! Are there any benefits of hosting your own XMPP server, considering I always use end-to-end encryption in all of my chats?

    100% agree with you. Been keeping an eye out for something more streamlined to bring the whatsapp crowd over. XMPP ain’t it due to different servers with different features being a thing. So I only have a few contacts there. But as soon as SimpleX has a desktop client I’m moving over. Not because XMPP is bad, but because it’s not able to pull less privacy driven peope over.

      I agree, once SimpleX implements a desktop client, read receipts, and account sync, it will be a great solution for the masses. The mobile apps are incredibly good for how young the project is, so I have high hopes for the desktop client.
