telegram is shit for well known reasons. Also i don't own any kind of "smartphone". Also requiring your real phone number, lol. Requiring you to login using ios/worstdroid. Also normie-"friendly". Also "accept our dick in your anus" so we can spy on your bank transactions and other "private" (not anymore) ID operations FOR FREE!
What about "MOVIM" or other general web-browser-based xmpp clients are they a viable method to share your cat memes? because GUI is a king nowadays. A Clean one.
Literally Clean UI is not just an art, but also a great engineer's design. I Loved uTox clean design, just a button to attach file, literally any file and a button to capture part of your screen voice and video fails for some reason for me. Unlike f.e. BeeBeep with tons of features (dedicated file sharing space, workspace video capture!, instant lan discovery) the interface is bloated and normies are turned away immediately (Also buttons are small and are not named properly). Probably qTox is the best all-around, but to get normies to use it is almost impossible for reasons like: "adding keys? manually? like all my friends are immediately added on app start-up! Different keys for different browsers? For what purpose?! are you part of that 4chin hacked group?" They call me the frightener for i always foretell some tech or /pol/ related shit
Also reddit spacing we use one german cloud based tech called "nextCloud" which also supports xmpp transmission, but somehow client doesn't. Also the server it is set up on is a mess, slow like a one-wheeled bandwagon: probably because every transaction is layered in 3 cypher methods (no kidding! AES, RSA, SHA256) and the web-client literally freezes sometimes. Also somehow client sync is slower than downloading from web side and uploading too, which causes GREAT PAIN WHEN IT TAKES A WHOLE BLOODY DAY TO DOWNLOAD 1 SHARED GB.
