    Is any of these apps good for phone calls or video calls, or just text messages?

      At this rate Canada would probably ban anything they can’t get records from eventually if it got popular enough. I hate this timeline.

          They have great PR, but other than that no, unfortunately

      I started self-hosting xmpp recently, and the calls work perfectly! You don’t need to self-host either, there are plenty of public servers.

      Arcane chat (a delta chat client) offers video/audio calls as well

            I think it is. I don’t remember seeing it before.

              The arcane chat dev is a fucking shit head so knowing delta chat has video chat as well will definitely make me go back to it.

                It’s been in DC for a few versions now, we’ve used a combination of: macOS desktop, Android mobile, Linux desktop, iOS Mobile - and haven’t had problems more than usual getting apps access to the cam/mic on macOS.

                They just dropped DC 2.57.0, it hit F-Droid and Arch repos in my morning updates. An update to the relay code was also dropped, 1.12.0, for relay operators.
