@xmpp a protocol alone does not allow you to instant message. It requires an app. One that your grandma can use. Xmpp and matrix apps are a very hard sell, even with the most technical crowd.

@xmpp the biggest/only hindrance to me being able to make an xmpp server available for public signup is the lack of e2e encrypted file/image sharing. for years now... i can't be storing images from random internet users.

Hi,
that sounds a bit strange.

Have you tried to reach out to one of the public chats (MUC):
search.jabber.network/search?q

Or a chat of one of the server communitys (ejabberd, OpenFire, Prosody,..)

@ITwrx I'm not sure if you can _force_ your users to use encryption while sharing files, but they definitely _can_ use it.
