Hello. I am looking for an alternative to Telegram and I prefer an application that uses decentralised servers. My question is: why is the xmpp+omemo protocol not recommended on websites when it is open source and decentralised? The privacyguides.org website does not list xmpp+omemo as a recommended messaging service. Nor does this website include it in its comparison of private messaging services.

Why do you think xmpp and its messaging clients such as Conversations, Movim, Gajim, etc. do not appear in these guides?

Some thoughts from "Asahi Lina" that sums it up: https://phanpy.social/#/vt.social/s/116054925440220855

You simply can't have your E2EE cake and eat it too. Sorry.

At the end of the day, decentralization (with data portability) is more valuable than E2EE if your concern is data mining. That can be done without all the major issues of E2EE.
