It's certainly not a scam, and it is a reliable, private messaging app, don't get me wrong. It's just not decentralized/federated, and that's the issue for me.

PeerTube! Check out TILvids for a good example.

When's the last time you used Matrix? Its definitely smooth nowadays.

You're more than welcome to register an account on canchat.org (my server).

And yes, as long as you enable OMEMO encryption, your server provider cannot read your encrypted messages.

https://providers.xmpp.net/ is a good resource for finding a provider (homeserver) as well.

I've tried it, it's definitely better. If I absolutely had to use Signal I'd use it through a Matrix bridge.

I got rid of Signal after they added cryptocurrency to their app.

While I have no issues with cryptocurrency itself, it was a reminder that they have full control over the app. Now I happily use XMPP and Matrix for communication with friends and family.

I've been using freedns.afraid.org for about a year now.

Most of them don't use the API afaik

I've been waiting for more users tbh.
