I only saw the app once while scrolling around on f-droid; tried it but it seemed too empty to be useful. The only place I've since seen it even being mentioned is this post, but that's also not specifically about the app. I'm genuinely curious about what exactly the point is of GNU/Jami. Is it just a p2p version of calling and messaging?

I was enthusiastic for Jami around 7 years ago, but now it is wholly irrelevent or meaningless. It also hurts the fact that absolutely nodo is using it.

Now with having Jitsi to use, which is a service and not a program so it doesn't matter if nobody is on there, plus SimpleX and Signal, as good as Jami legitmately is, it truly means absolutely nothing.

I am already of the opinion that there too many messenging apps and not enough people using open source encrypted apps of any kind to move the market away for corporate proprietary messengers. I'm always working on getting people off of Whatsapp on to Signal/Molly. Maybe Jami team should quit and jump to developing SimpleX.
