Hi,

So the state of available XMPP Clients today kinda sucks. There's Pidgin 
available for Linux Systems (it works and gets some security patches from time 
to time), there's ChatSecure for iOS, there's Conversations for Android. There 
are some clients without OMEMO/OTR for macOS and Windows but unless you fully 
trust both XMPP Servers in a chat that's not a good solution.

The alternative is "chat apps" like Signal by OpenWhisper or Wire by Wire Swiss 
GmbH but those are at the end of the day centralized apps so you have to trust 
the developers will play nice. In theory you can compile the mobile apps from 
source to avoid a backdoor.

Honestly it might not be a bad idea to make email popular again, at least then 
it's federated and there's no single entity that can censor or shutdown your 
communications, with the con that emails take up to a minute to transfer so 
it's not instant like chat.

You have to decide what tradeoffs you feel comfortable with, we can't make that 
decision for you.
Cordially,
Nathaniel Suchy
