I use wire (wire. com) for daily chatting. I like it but I couldn't find any good communities in wire. In session, or simpleX, there are privacy (and other) groups in which anyone can participate… Can we start a privacy group in wire so we folks can also hang around?
what are you talking about? XMPP doesn’t have such a thing as default settings. It varies from client to client. There are clients which have E2EE enabled by default, clients which make it available, others that support it with a plugin and there are others that do not support E2EE.
That’s no excuse to avoid XMPP. XMPP is an open standard, the key is choosing a good implementation.
