#Signal seems to have been down for a bit today, so this is a good moment to consider if you have backup comms channels with people you care about.
A Signal Contingency Plan, if you will:
https://signal-contingency-plan.info/
I agree with the recommendation there and am working on making Delta Chat @delta that kind of backup channel for me and mine.

Yes, the company has recently been sold to a German investor, but no impact seen or suspected on their business model or trustworthiness so far. Let me know if you think differently.

...I remember that XMPP is technically neither of the three - is the reason not to recommend it that end-to-end encryption is an [em]extension[/em] for XMPP (OMEMO if I recall correctly), and doesn't come enforced by default by the protocol?

in reply to Carlos Solís • •Pretty sure the main reason why folks aren't recommending XMPP is the lack of a robust and polished iPhone app. :/

in reply to Cassandrich • • •> "Delta is sus too tho iirc"
where does that claims come from? most Delta Chat developers are part of or otherwise closely related to trans, queer, and antifa circles, and the CCC comunity
better not spread misinformation (hopefuly not with bad intentions?) if you don't "IIRC"
