The hope is that this guide and website can act as a simple way to introduce newcomers - whether it’s you, friends or family - into this space and try something else besides the default options!
There is also a community-driven, open-source site ( https://purchasewithpurpose.io/ ) that aims to make this even easier. This includes screenshots, ratings and a larger feature list.
Every time I post these guides, there is always feedback on things that can improve, or I got wrong. Please do share, as it is the best way for these to evolve.


we should try extending XMPP and making it have all the features we need
Aside from group chats and iffy onboarding. It’s ok?
Conversations and Snikket make it psedo-easy.
For onboarding for apps like this, top server owners should offer to be featured as places to register, maybe sorted by ping?
Mandatory E2EE is something I want. It should be impossible to accidentally have an insecure chat
