signal has been eroding it’s trustworthiness, and all the stuff you said is why myself and most folks keep using it despite its downsides. in a perfect world more of us would be working to make xmpp a viable option for most people but as it stands it’s a touch too technical for the average person’s mom and dad, who are ultimately who you have to appeal to
I agree somewhat because of the premined coins fiasco but I’m not sure what else you could be referring to, if anything.
XMPP is not viable imo because of its approach to ‘standards’ and XEPs and that its e2ee is not always on and can be turned off, not to mention not necessarily not all that good encryption to begin with since most clients still use the old versions of OMEMO and the other methods of e2ee for it don’t (yet) have PFS.
