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?

    You could call it p2p since there is no Jami servers. Yes it does messaging and video conferencing. I see no point to Jami due to having to me installed compared to Jitsi would does group video cinferencing without installing it, and anybody can run their own Jitsi server to host conferences to keep them even more private away from the broader internet. The email service I use also has a Jitsi service available that I have used for video conferencing.

    I am strongly supportive of what Jami does, I don’t see it ever replacing a similar service like Jitsi or Sgnal.
