XMPP: The secure communication protocol that respects privacy
Yes, Quicky from the Conversations developer who bragged about copying main features of WhatsApp and Signal.
Another one is Kontalk, https://www.kontalk.org/.
Both XMPP clients require a phone number, and both present the phone number as a benefit in comparison with other XMPP clients without this requirement.

Has anyone used kontalk before?
It doesn't support OMEMO (the Signal-based end-to-end encryption protocol used by most XMPP apps today) (kontalk/androidclient#132)

An actually private messaging self hosted server
I agree. IMHO the best variant is then to use something that is truely free. Like XMPP. There are a lot of servers and many clients to chose from and I can strongly recommend converse.js as a web client. It supports different ways of end to end encryption but I would recommend OMEMO which is basically the same encryption idea that you find in Signal.

Xmpp Bot with its own address.
Hello, I recently started exploring xmpp, with snikket app and conversejs.org
-
Matrix was worth the effort to self host.
It is Converse.js (https://conversejs.org/) packaged into a one-click install for openfire (from the web admin). So, one-click install for an xmpp web client.

Ask HN: What is your recommended stack for real time chat?
My choice, because it's the stack I know very well, would be Prosody ( https://prosody.im/ - I'm one of the devs) and a web client such as Converse.js ( https://conversejs.org/ ). XMPP is highly extensible, Prosody is highly modular, which make them a good foundation for building on top of.
That said, the right stack is generally the one that matches your requirements, and (if this isn't primarily a learning exercise) whatever you're most familiar with. The hardest part of building a Discord or Slack-like in 2022 is actually not the technical stuff. There are many comprehensive open-source products already out there that compete with these companies, such as Mattermost, RocketChat and Element.

NEEE HELP!
Maybe you are remembering this bug from some months ago? It appeared exactly as if this was (accidentally) uploading keys to the user's XMPP server (not Converse.js's server) and publishing them.

WhatsApp enables multi-device capability
>What about iOS?
[Siskin] [1] seems to be the best client for iOS right now. It's not as good as Conversations.
>What about desktop?
I am pretty happy with beagle (OSX) [2], Dino (Linux) [3] and Gajim (linux, windows, OSX) [4]. If in-browser is your thing, converse.js [5] or movim [6] come to mind.
>What if I don't want to run my own XMPP server?
Use quicksy.im?
