Nearly my entire family and a handful of my close friends are on wire with no problem.

The only down side is that Synapse is heady on system resources. Also Matrix isn't really suitable for onion routing, so no metadata protection.<br /><br />XMPP also works, but you need to be careful about what XEPs are installed on the server. If you set up the server *just right* and use Conversations then it's nice. You can also route it through Tor and force all one-to-one messages to be e2ee only.<br /><br />IRC is still quite good but is really only for public communications. You can also run IRC on an onion address.<br /><br />Avoid Discord, Slack, Signal, Telegram and Keybase. They either have bad crypto or proprietary dependencies.<br /><br />Wire might be ok, but lacks federation which makes it not very scalable and susceptible to server failure/compromise.1263032http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/post2018-06-13T21:11:50+00:002018-06-13T21:11:50+00:00http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/personhttps://soc.freedombone.net/users/bobbobFree Software hacker and maintainer of the Freedombone project.
