@Tutanota #XMPP is an egregious omission here. Mature IETF standard, federated, #FreeSoftware clients _and_ servers, end-to-end encryption...

You don't need a phone number or even an email ID to use XMPP, but you can also choose Quicksy for easier phone-number-based onboarding.

I've written a "Quick and Easy Guide to XMPP" here. https://contrapunctus.codeberg.page/the-quick-and-easy-guide-to-xmpp.html

Quicksy

A spin-off of the popular Jabber/XMPP client Conversations with automatic contact discovery. Sign up with your phone number and Quicksy will automatically—based on the phone numbers in your address book—suggest possible contacts to you.

@contrapunctus @Tutanota very good guide 👌 I would just mention #fdroid as a mean to get #quicksy . I will probably use your guide instead of joinjabber which is very confusing for new comers 🤔
