the only true alternative that works 100%
server-based, opensource

Discord. it just werks.

just use the one that most people you know already use. don't be the sperg that tries to get everyone else to download some niche thing that's probably going to be abandoned in a year.

Not serverless, but you can host your own server and not connect to the Federation and have all your friends join your server. (e2e patch in beta, you can run it on your own server)
Become Google.

Xmpp is the answer.
Conversation as a client on android and ejabberd as a server on linux are fucking great.

this is still my best bet for serverless
opensource, savoir-affair Linux

but the last update was in August, so it is starting to look abandoned

by the way, i love the icon

looks interesting
I can't deal with a machine 24/7 right now, so that is why I'm trying to find something that runs p2p
thanks for the info

i have used Conversation before, and it is really good
but i didn't find any server that supported offline messaging, so it just worked as a chat client: if destination is online you cant message it

offline

I can't comment on public xmpp servers since I never used one.
I host my own server comprised of centos and ejabberd.
Everything works flawlessly, the only feature that is missing is file sharing in group chat.

>>57229258
well let me confirm

do ejabberd let you send messages to offline contacts?

>>57229439
Yes it does.
You can even enable a module to save message history on the server itself (I advise you to not do that).

>>57229477
nice
then it is the best option, having a server
free public xmpp doesn't allow offline messaging, so they are just offering chat services

Ejabberd isn't really that resource demanding.
A raspberry pi should be good enough if you don't plan to have thousands of users.

I'm rocking only mobile internet these days, so having a server is not an option right now

that and not having a botnet account is the main reason I'm interested in p2p messaging

it looks like a really good alternative to Zuckerberg and co
