I am well aware. Personally I rejected it because its not Copyleft.

Electron has Chromium in it but it doesn't include all licenses of Chromium so it's a violation of software freedom.

I wanted a client for Android so i searched on Google play and Fdroid but couldn't find one with acceptable design. Proprietary or otherwise. I understand that tech people don't care about UI/UX but we need some nice looking clients. Plus I have seen that there is a huge shift to Matrix for non-tech people. IRC and XMPP seem to stay into obscurity. XMPP would have been popular by now. And what good is a system if its not popular? I don't want to message my self. Matrix is the only protocol that is actively developed, is Free Software (although not AGPL-3), and seems to have a consensus by the wider community. Also the clients seem to decently designed. I'm saying all this because if we want to attract more Free Software users, like it or not we need a good presentation with good interface. otherwise we risk to fall into obscurity. No, Im not saying to use proprietary messaging to attract users.

FSF already has XMPP service for their associate members. I guess it comes down to personal preference but for me I didn't see the same features in all the clients I tried and almost all of them were badly designed. This doesn't help with convincing people to use XMPP. Where did you go to determine which XMPP clients to try? And which clients did you try? I believe there should be better resources to allow people to more easily find the best XMPP clients - I'm trying to do my part with the recommendations at [2][3]https://jmp.chat/#clients (for the free software service I run). In short, use Gajim or Conversations. If you want fancy design but less features, then Dino. Hopefully we can make these recommendations more widely-known so that people don't give up on XMPP. It's an excellent protocol and is very easy to use and featureful if you have the right client. Denver [3][4]https://jmp.chat/ References 1. [5]mailto:libreplanet-discuss@libreplanet.org 2.
