in reply to Delta Chat • • •My personal setup is #Conversations on my Android machines and #Gajim on Linux and Windows. For iOS (I don't use Apple devices, though) I recommend #Monal, which I see as the most advanced app for XMPP on Apple. On Linux, #Dino is very promising, and I might switch in the future

in reply to Delta Chat • • •DC is easily my favorite UX of these 3 because any device can be the primary - needing to create accounts on Whatsapp and Signal with a phone and tie a phone number to the account before creating a quite awkward secondary on a computer is, especially after that WA data leak, pretty unfortunate.
other folks have mentioned some Matrix and XMPP clients, and while I understand why DC does everything with QR codes to mitigate MITM attacks, it does make that standard workflow of scanning a QR code off a phone into the computer a pain in the neck. Matrix's approach to a username/password and then key syncing via emoji checking is really universal and slick.

in reply to Delta Chat • •@Delta Chat I would vote Delta, Signal requires your first device to be mobile, and puts a limit on how many devices you can have.
(I'd vote, but Mastodon polls aren't #friendica compatible).

in reply to zivi • • •@zaire to clarify if someone is reading that out of context:
Delta Chat's multiple devices can be in different networks, and can be indepenently offline
only on setup, existing and to-be-set-up devices needs to be in the same network (which also has some security advantages)
