I want to break a local community free from Signal, and I've been thinking about XMPP. In reading some analyses I found this gem:

I stopped using Signal because I just don't trust it. Why so many updates with no explanations? Is it so unstable and insecure that it needs them? Also, check out search results for running your own Signal server. Technically it's free software, but practically, good luck.
So I guess I need to figure out persistence and E2EE for XMPP, and land on a server and clients. I'm inclined towards ejabberd, because Erlang!
I'd welcome thoughts.
@FredPraca OMEMO looks like the "E2EE for groups" plug-in for XMPP, and tha'ts going to be a hard requirement. I'm curious what sort of snags you hit wth it, if you can describe some of that for me.
Thank you!
