## Chat, kinda everywhere and everyone
Modern, encrypted communication owned by everyone, not big tech giants.
Voice and video calls, send photos and files, create group chats, and more.
Don't use text messages, Signal, WhatsApp, or Discord, use this service instead!
Like email you trust one email provider with your account, like
`
[email protected]`, but you can still email people who use another provider
like `
[email protected]`, except here we're talking about chat and calls.
You can use different apps to use this service. For example, on Android, I think
Conversations[1] is very nice. On my laptop I use Gajim[2].
I wrote some about my journey setting up this service[3], so the setup is
transparent, and I suppose in a way, open source.
My XMPP server is invite-only. It's linked to my IRC server[4]!

## Tips
* You can join any someodd IRC[8] channel from XMPP! Just try joining a room
like `#
[email protected]` (if enough people want I may open it up to
being able to join other IRC servers as well!)
* Gajim and Conversations support Jingle, which means you can make video and
voice calls!
### My favorite clients
XMPP app for desktop/laptop (Linux, Windows, Mac): Gajim[9] (seen below, edited
to respect privacy):
!Gajim XMPP client connected to my XMPP server which is also connected to my IRC
server => /showcase/xmpp-server/gajim-connected-someodd-xmpp-irc-censored.png
XMPP app for Android (it's free on F-Droid, costs money on Google Play):
Conversations[10].
## Features
* Voice & Video Calls: Make calls with clients that support it (like
Conversations & Gajim).: fa-cog

* You can use my IRC server[11] from XMPP

This is probably a non-fully-inclusive list of features!
