another.im vs FocusMastodon
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
another.im
the Another Instant Messenger is not a messenger, don't believe the words. we just offer you a standardized xmpp-client with predicted features which work equally on all platforms. in our clients we have realized pure XMPP and you won't step on a hedgehog unexpectedly when you communicate with another xmpp client or server. because you buy our open-sourced bitcoin, we decided to offer you to buy our open-sourced messenger. ha-ha joke. it's free, really. GPLv3, whatever. for Android, it's just an improved fork of Conversations, all necessary XEP's was realized by Conversations devs but we added a cherry on top of this. on the server side we are offering free to use Prosody server, just connect to [another.im](xmpp:xmppclient-dev@conference.another.im), but we are encouroge you to don't trust us, self-host. OTR encryption is also supported as 'secret chats' due to otr has been designed for one-time sessions and the concept of 'secret chats' fully corresponds to the idea of the OTR. also you can just download the source code, compile it and install. only those who seeks will realize the way to pay us, we can offer you additional server-side features and some telecommunication magic on our narayana.im
