3 reasons for me:

  • XMPP implementations have been around so much longer than signal, to me signal would be "just another messaging app"

  • XMPP doesn't require my phone number. Signal might give you the option to use usernames with your contacts, but still requires a valid number for registration last I checked.

  • I can self host an XMPP server instead of trusting/depending on someone else.
