Is there a good way to handle e2e encryption on xmpp? I feel like that is one of the selling points of matrix. Iirc there was an OTR plugin for gaim/pidgin, but I have no idea what’s normal these days
XMPP’s E2EE is comparable to everything else out there (Signal, Matrix, WhatsApp, …) in that it uses Signal’s double-ratchet algorithm (guaranteeing perfect forward secrecy and al.). All maintained clients support it: https://omemo.top/
