After having Jami on my radar, i can finally say that Euclid is actually keeping its promises and works (sometimes a first contact takes time). I use an old RaspberryPI as an "always on" client to solidify a place a connection is always possible (this is of course optional). And the setup is easy, just have any device with your jami account running. SimpleX still has no multi-device, so if you loose your phone there, your account is gone. Not a problem here, Thanks Jami.

What is Jami?
Jami, formerly known as GNU Ring or SFLphone, is an open-source communication software that serves as an alternative to Skype. It gives users full control over their communications while maintaining privacy and is compatible with SIP. It works on various platforms like Linux, Windows, macOS, and Android.
Jami supports several communication methods. It works as a telephone, a teleconferencing tool, a media sharing platform, a messenger, and a tool for IoT projects. It supports multiple audio and video codecs and allows for a variety of input and output options.
The software is developed by Savoir-faire Linux with the help of a global community, ensuring regular updates and improvements.






Comments and Reviews
Great decentralised tool that is not difficult to adopt. Nifty way to share the account between devices, and also allows for extra SIP accounts. Most likely to grow into a decentralised, open source Skype killer, in my opinion!
I tried this app a few times over a year. After some time, the app stops receiving the messages. There is no way to refresh in manually, restarting doesn't fix it. One time it fixed when I called the person but then broke next day.

Jami is a GNU package and one of the few foreign messaging applications available in mainland China.
Interesting that Jami is available in China. I learned something new. Speaking of China, Jami's free documentation is available in multiple languages. Including Chinese at https://docs.jami.net/zh_CN/index.html
The Jami support forum is not yet available in Chinese though. The homepage is at https://forum.jami.net/
It's a pretty good open source alternative to Discord and similar software. Cross-platform and decentralized, no ads, all features available from the go.
Jami is my favorite alternative to Skype. I highly recommend Jami.
Strength: • Free. No ads. • Unlimited. Without restriction on file size, speed, bandwidth, features, number of accounts, storage or anything else. • You can sign-in an unlimited amount of accounts at the same time on multiple devices. Then receive notification for all of them. • Easy to use. • Very strong security. Thanks to both its end-to-end encryption & peer-to-peer communications. Also complies with X.509 standard. • Distributed. It works with or without internet connection. Users who are on the same local network can communicate with Jami even if they are disconnected from the internet. Which is very handy in case of real emergency or unlikely natural catastrophe affecting external communication networks. In other words, Jami does not require a server for relaying data between users. • Multi-platform. Available on Linux, Android, AndroidTV, Windows, macOS and iOS. • Positions itself as a free Skype replacement • Optional SIP client account(s). Which allow you to answer & make VoIP telephone calls from anywhere in the world where you are connected to the internet. • Multilingual • Anonymous. This is optional. When you create your Jami account, no personal information needs to be provided. • Open source. If you are not familiar with "open source", it means this software has both stronger security & stronger privacy. Because its code is publicly available for review and contributions at https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux • Attractive GNU General Public License version 3. This means the software code of this extension is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. https://git.jami.net/savoirfairelinux/ring-client-gnome/-/blob/master/COPYING

There is an option to stop receiving attachments automatically based on file size. But how can I auto-remove outdated attachments from conversations completely?
Hello WeiHua Liu, find my answer in my publication in this free Jami forum at https://forum.jami.net/t/how-to-auto-remove-outdated-attachments-from-conversations/5545/2
Decentralized and encrypted. Available on all major devices. There is video conferencing and the ability to show a desktop.
