Look at https://riot.im as a replacement to #WhatsApp. It is decentralized similar to #Mastodon but suited for private conversations and groups with end to end encryption for assured #privacy It is powered by #Matrix protocol and two instances are manged by Indians https://diasp.in and https://poddery.com
@amarsharma @praveen @h_tejas its centralised and uses your phone number. Absolute disaster. Snowden has a different threat model.

I don't think you need so much tech savvyness for xmpp, its exactly like #mastodon, get the app, find a server, sign up.
There is https://quicksy.im for those who don't even want that much effort. It works like #WhatsApp, just give your phone number, confirm and find friends via address book.
@praveen @akash @amarsharma @h_tejas ask @techbolt about the ease of use/intuitive ness of jabber.
