Jami – FOSS, Distributed Instant Messenger

Instant Messengers feel pretty much like this now: https://xkcd.com/927/

So, we got WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Threema, Signal, Telegram, Riot/Matrix, Jabber/XMPP, maybe Slack or even Skype and now Jami.

I'm _so_ looking forward to another messenger and trying to onboard users/friends to that, because _this_ now is the final solution to all our IM problems.

First we need to support only protocols where an open source /free client can be written. Then I am free to use it (the best I can find) and other people can use any one they choose. I avoid using anything that requires a proprietary client. If I really have to, I'll use a web client and not be online most of the time.

You forgot IRC :-)

Pidgin has extensions[0] available for all of those except for Jami. One messenger app to rule them all.
