Text messaging has been a staple of communication for decades, but it's time to move on. In this video, we'll explore why SMS is an outdated and insecure technology and discuss better alternatives....

People who would rather use Facebook Messenger than Signal definitely aren’t going to use XMPP. XMPP clients just aren’t user-friendly enough, especially if you want to use encryption and you and your communication partner don’t use the same client.
And I’d assume, if they make E2EE illegal, that E2EE XMPP would also be illegal. Maybe the US would specifically ban Signal, but the EU would definitely be more thorough about banning E2EE.
Let’s hope that the alternatives stay legal and uncompromized.
