<pre class="k9mail">Hi folks,<br /><br />Finally we have a drop in replacement for WhatsApp that we can recommend<br />to anyone (Telegram server was never Free Software, though I heard they<br />are going to release it soon), its Kontalk. See <a href="http://kontalk.org">kontalk.org</a><br /><br />There is also TextSecure which almost as good, just that its developers<br />insist on using Google Cloud Messaging for supporting push messages.<br /><br />Both of these options are Free Software, decentralized, and end to end<br />encrypted.<br /><br />Kontalk,<br /><br />First option, no corporate dependency, built on top of xmpp standard (so<br />can interact with any existing xmpp accounts, though it still needs some<br />more polishing) and run by community. We can run our on kontalk server<br />and we hope to run kontalk servers on <a href="http://diasp.in">diasp.in</a> and <a href="http://poddery.com">poddery.com</a> soon<br />(currently we run prosody xmpp server for diaspora and
once we can<br />switch to tigase, same server can serve both kontalk and diaspora. see<br /><a href="https://projects.tigase.org/issues/3333">https://projects.tigase.org/issues/3333</a>).<br /><br />The only missing feature is groups, but it is under development and<br />we'll have it pretty soon.<br /><a href="https://github.com/kontalk/androidclient/issues/179">https://github.com/kontalk/androidclient/issues/179</a> (expected for 3.0.5<br />or 3.1, current version is 3.0.2)<br /><br />You'll need android for registering to kontalk for now. Once you have an<br />account, you can use it on the desktop/laptop.<br /><br />TextSecure,<br /><br />Second option, still needs google cloud messaging. It has an iOS version<br />and browser extension is under development. It is available by default<br />on CyanogenMod.<br /><br />So if you have an android phone, install it and share it with your friends.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Praveen<br /><br /></pre><p style="margin-top: 2.5em;
