If you're interested in setting up a secure chat service for you and your friends, you might want to try @snikket_im
It's really cheap to run and easy to set up, it's managed hosting so you don't need to do techy stuff.
Technical details: it runs on XMPP with OMEMO end-to-end encryption, but this is hidden behind non-technical branding so it doesn't scare people.
Instances are federated, Snikket and other types of XMPP instance can communicate.
@homegrown@social.growyourown.services @snikket_im@fosstodon.org I really wish there was a nice web client for xmpp, movim isn't terrible, but it's not great.
@irelephant
A Snikket web client is coming. It's currently lacking end-to-end encryption in group chats and a bit of polish, but it should be available later this year!
@homegrown
Ooh, exciting! Thanks for the info!
@homegrown @snikket_im @irelephant The Cheogram web app is already pretty great app.cheogram.com
@homegrown
I do not see a real advantage over XMPP. And the App (at least for iOS) has not been updated since a year.
@snikket_im
@homegrown @snikket_im i personally prefer @delta basec on email end to end encrypted too and can be selfhosted too.
