# xmpp is the best software protocol out there
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have my reasons:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Descentralization
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You and your friend can setup their own xmpp server and a server to
|
|
|
|
|
server communication will be made. (yourdomain.tld -> frendomain.tld)
|
|
|
|
|
just like emails. So the messages aren't centralizated. Making it good
|
|
|
|
|
for privacy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Easy encryption
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
xmpp supports [OMEMO](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0384.html) and
|
|
|
|
|
[OpenPGP](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0027.html) encryption. This
|
|
|
|
|
plus centralization makes it perfect for privacy.
