I want to selfhost a messaging service for my family. It should be secure and have voice calling option, ideally. Thank you.

    The problem of XMPP is not hosting it, it’s the clients. Give me one easy-to-use guide to have

    • e2ee text messaging
    • groups
    • audio/video calling

    working equally well on desktop, Android and iOS, and I will gladly drop my matrix server.

      exactly. in theory XMPP has everything required of a modern chat protocol, in practice however there are a void of clients which support necessary XEPs. there’s Conversations on android which is alright and that’s about it.

      Gajim is a bloatware monster, Dino is alpha-quality, and uhh. I think that’s it.
