CantaloupeDo you prefer XMPP or Matrix powered apps as a discord alternative?
warmasterFluxer is a better Discord alternative than Matrix and XMPP.
That said, XMPP is more private. Matrix is worse than everything else.
ProdigalFrogFluxer, while promising, is currently too buggy for people to switch to, and still has an unproven back-end that needs to show it can scale up. I am hopeful for it though, as it uses GPL, and the dev plans to implement federation and encryption at some point.
XMPP is rapidly gaining Discord-like features thanks to the Movim client, but it too is not yet a 1:1 replacement. It is however pretty stable, and could be used while users wait for those additional features.
marcie (she/her)is movim even encrypted from what i can tell it isnt
mononokeMovim has supported OMEMO since 2021 from the looks of it.
not by default tho
A lot of clients don’t have encryption enabled by default since they’ve been around for quite a long time, before this was a primary consideration in web communication standards. In these cases, like with Gajim, it is a simple toggle in the client options. I don’t use it but I assume Movim is similar.

Can confirm, it’s just a toggle, and then you can click a padlock icon in any chat to send any new messages as encrypted.
