Conversations is great. But as someone who recently switched from Android to iOS, I can attest that XMPP apps on iOS are hot garbage. They probably have to be this way because iOS only allows you to do push notifications through their own gateways, and most (all?) XMPP servers don't have support for such push gateways.

I'm now actively trying to get contacts off XMPP because XMPP is too unreliable for me.

And that's before we talk about the sad state of XMPP apps on the desktop. You cannot win the messaging market when you have only one good app on a single OS.

Xmpp isn't unreliable. iOS sucks. Gajim works just fine on desktop too. There isn't a lack of support across platforms, just apple.

I mean I get it, but those who trade security for convinence deserve neither

Both + desktop windows and linux. Problems ranged from not working properly to at all.

If you only need to support one platform maybe it's doable, otherwise just not worth it.

Conversations works great. Also got a xmpp Server for free with the last mailcow update
