    Privacy matters most in the individual case, with people who know you.

    That statement is subjective at best. My friends and coworkers knowing where I live certainly isn’t my concern. In today’s day and age privacy enthusiasts are definitely more scared of corpos and governments.

    isn’t worth it yet.

    You’re thinking too small. Just in the context of the e2ee ban planned in europe, think what you could do. The new law is set to scan all your messages before/after sending for specific keywords. Imagine you get automatically flagged and now an AI is scanning all your pictures for locations and contacts and what not. Just the thought that might be technically possible is scary as hell.

    3 reasons for me:

    • XMPP implementations have been around so much longer than signal, to me signal would be “just another messaging app”

    • XMPP doesn’t require my phone number. Signal might give you the option to use usernames with your contacts, but still requires a valid number for registration last I checked.

    • I can self host an XMPP server instead of trusting/depending on someone else.
