So... I guess "Sup." beta is delayed...

I was really looking forward to a decentralized, self hostable Signal...

Looking for something more integrated with things like Mastodon or Lemmy or Pixelfed, it's too hard of a sell for people to download another messager otherwise.

Also, Matrix is really complicated... I still don't quite have it working right.

Matrix is not complicated, it's Element's UX. It's going in good direction, remember than on WhatsApp people are factory resetting their phones to move chats between Android and iPhone. You can do clickable Matrix link in bio and there are instances that offer Fediverse+Matrix combo accounts.

@mexicancartel @MargotRobbie why not xmpp? I don't need startups reinventing existing internet standards.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

What clients do you suggest for xmpp?(android)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

check out "conversations" its free on f-fdroid and paid in the play store (although from time to time its free there, also)

It looks pathetically old from screenshots

It's got the stuff that matters.

@mexicancartel It does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. If you care more about rounded corners than about standards compliance and interoperability, then it might not be for you. But the author is working on an visual upgrade for people like you also.

I just tried out and its a very consistent application. It looks slightly better than from the screenshots. Still yeah looks matter a lot and that screenshots in fdroid made me not to try it
