This article may be bullshit, but people are still wasting their time on walled gardens like Signal. Organizations like Signal can easily disappear because they run out of money or, arguably worse, sellout because there is no other way to stay afloat. I wouldn't use any messenger not compatible with the XMPP internet standard at this point.

I tried XMPP. It was a nightmare.

Finding clients for all the platforms that support all of the extensions that make it a viable alternative to something like WhatsApp or Signal...

Here is what I found works pretty good

Android: Conversations
Linux: Dino
Apple: Monal
Windows: Gajim
