Imagine I say to you, "Monero is crap. The sky is blue"
Yes the sky is blue, but why is monero crappy? The cryptography in the implimentation he's criticizing, is just as good as the ones in the next spec he's criticizing it has not advanced to yet. So he makes a long ass ramble about cryptography, but these points are not directly related to any kind of meaningful criticism of XMPP or the cryptography used. Merely that it hasn't changed yet.
Further, his bitching about not having encryption by default is a minor point. Flip it on and move on with life. XMPP gives the user the freedom to decide which crypto to use.
He's completely ignoring all the issues mentioned in my post. The cool thing about XMPP is that the end-user does not have to listen or obey external rules. While as this author is a bitch slave to Signal's board. By the way bro, the sky is blue.
