Against XMPP+OMEMO
XMPP is a messaging protocol (among other things) that needs no introduction to any technical audience. Its various implementations have proliferated through technical communities for decades. Many large tech companies today used to run XMPP servers. However, the basic protocol transmitted plaintext. If you were lucky, it was plaintext over SSL/TLS, but servers could still see all of your message contents.
