How do you feel about registering in XMPP by phone number? - eviltoast

Recently, the Prav app was released in F-droid. In this application, registration is by phone number.

What do you think about this?

    Praveen - u_tamtam mentioned what I have been thinking about Prav - what’s the rationale for it to exist and why should I choose it over the original?

    /Of course, I appreciate the work you and the other volunteers are doing to spread the awareness of XMPP, Privacy, and Security (in India).

      @Deus another Prav volunteer here. If you need to ask about choosing it over the original, you’re probably better off with the original 😅

      The personal motivation behind Prav was similar to Quicksy: to get friends onto XMPP when they’re too impatient to learn how it all works :xmpp:

      We realised it helps to be running the service ourselves, and to be able to modify the app as our users request (which can of course be propagated upstream if there is interest) 🛠️
