@its_a_me @bhhaskin The entire article has basically only one real point: e2ee isn't mandatory in XMPP. That's also basically Soatok's primary shtick, if it isn't mandatory e2ee, it's automatically bad. And they do have a point with centralized services that run on compromised infrastructure like Signal, but outside of that the argument for mandatory e2ee is much weaker.

@sam You could help them set up a chat bridge or access their chats through a Slidge XMPP gateway? It's not perfect, but at least it would allow you to participate and raise awareness that better options exist.
