Okay look. *I* don't use #Signal ( and same for #Telegram ), because I don't want to give my telephone number to anyone except family and close friends. I have enough personal contacts that do use them so that they'd be personally useful if I didn't have that unbreakable obstacle.
But I don't object to others choosing such end-to-end encrypted messengers over messaging apps such as (for example) #Facebook_Messenger.
I personally use #Wire, #XMPP, #Matrix, and #WickrMe. (I tried #Jami, but it wasn't very usable yet; none of my contacts were willing to try #Tox or #Briar.) I've even considered getting a Google account again so I can use whatever their latest incarnation of messaging is (just because almost everyone I know has a Google account).
It does bother me that Signal and Telegram and most other messaging services are centralized and non-federated.
It seems we haven't learned from the 1990s & early 2000s when some friends had AOL Instant Messenger (AIM), some had MSN Messenger, some had Yahoo Messenger, some had ICQ, and a few had various other walled garden messengers (such as Excite's messenger). If I wanted to talk with all my friends, I needed to have accounts on every possible service. I should be able to communicate with my friends from whatever service I choose to use to whatever services they choose to use and not have to create accounts on every possible service.
But that's a matter of educating our friends and family, not of dogmatically refusing to communicate with them on any service they might use. -

I haven't tried any of them, but I have seen all three apps in F-Droid. With #Kontalk and #Quicksy, your phone number is part of your JabberID (which leaves them DOA for me). Not sure about #Snikket.

https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0383.html
This XEP sounds like it would be useful for joining large MUCs (chatrooms), where an unknown participant may be harvesting JIDs for later targeting by SPIM.
Marked "Deferred", which sounds like it wasn't implemented widely enough in the #XMPP universe to generate experience & data to confirm its usefulness / desirability. -

Seems strange to me, but #Xabber does not implement https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0191.html
I'm looking through some XEPs, looking for one that specifies that all requests sent from non-roster JIDs can be rejected.
(Yes, I use Xabber, not #Conversations, as my #XMPP client on #Android. Every time I try to use Conversations, I have a very strong reaction and end up deleting it. I think the most recent time is permanent. I just can't stand it.) -

Finally removed #Monal (an #XMPP client) from my #iPad. It never worked right (which I put down to Apple restrictions on background apps), but after an update, I could not even find my ‘roster’ of contacts. I understand it is an awful platform, but you don’t have to make things worse.
I may try #SiskinIM (which I believe is made by the #Tigase folks) next. I do understand that Apple’s background app restrictions will also make that one stink, but hopefully they won’t make any ruinous choices of their own. -

I'd be using as daily driver just when there will be a decent #xmpp client that supports #omemo, as xmpp is my IM of choice to talk with friends and family (btw if you're using matrix, #fluffychat is a great client!).
Calls, sms, emails (except hotmail), fedi, photos work flawlessy. You can create also your webapps if you need a container for your instance or website.
I usually manage also my vps from the terminal.
About paying bills i don't know, i usually don't pay on phone, i prefer desktop, but i saw some banking apps in the store: https://open-store.io/?category=Business%20%26%20Finance
A lack is a decent browser (Morph browser is based on qt, it's not that bad but i would like some ports of firefox because of their addons).
Android apps may work if you install Anbox, but their support is still alpha quality as per my experience (lots of crashes). -

@clacke I second that. But from what I understand, the #Matrix founders had been involved in #SIP (which had a rivalry versus #XMPP thanks to its "SIMPLE" messaging protocol ... only recently has the SIP organization decided to work on interop with the XSF). -

I'm out of ideas to suggest on this one: https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/issues/114 !gnusocial
(Other than clear the queues entirely and see if the #XMPP plugin starts working then.) -

@wyatwerp like the author said, FOAF was a product of a time when it was normal for most web users to have personal and professional homepages. I can't see how it would be helpful for chat, maybe for finding the chat address of a user by entering their email address or homepage? But you'd still need a chat app using a realtime protocol like #IRC, #XMPP, #Wave, #Matrix, or #WebRTC.

@Shufei which mobile #XMPP clients have you tried? I've found #Conversations pretty good.

I don’t know what changed, but #Psi / #PsiPlus now takes 20-30 minutes to appear. The slowness motivated me to install #Dino-IM, but it doesn’t have a roster view, so I quickly uninstalled it. #XMPP clients -

Thanks to @Thib support for #XMPP URIs got merged into mastodon a few days ago. This should make linking to external discussion channels and moving a conversation to a E2E encrypted chat a bit easier on the fediverse:
