Unfortunatly these modern replacement for legacy XMPP featurs are not widely
adopted. However Conversations should be an instant messanger for the future and
instead of making Conversations compatible with the past we should work on
implementing new, improved technologies into other XMPP clients as well.

Conversations is a messanger for the next decade. Based on already established
internet standards that have been around for over ten years Coversations isn’t
trying to replace current commercial messangers. It will simply outlive them.
Commercial, closed source products are coming and going. 15 years ago we had
ICQ which was replaced by Skype. MySpace was replaced by Facebook. WhatsApp and
Hangouts will disapear soon. Internet standards however stick around. People are
still using IRC and e-mail even though these protocols have been around for
decades. Utilizing proven standards doesn’t mean one can not evolve. GMail has
revolutionized the way we look at e-mail. Firefox and Chrome have changed the
way we use the Web. Conversations will change the way we look at instant
messaging. Being less obstrusive than a telephone call instant messaging has
always played an importent role in modern society. Conversations will show that
instant messaging can be fast, relialbe and private. Conversations will not
force its security and privacey aspects upon the user. For those willing to use encryption
Conversations will make it as uncomplicated as possible. However Conversations
is aware that end-to-end encryption by the very principle isn’t trivial. Instead
of trying the impossible and making encryption easier than comparing a
fingerprint Conversations will try to educate the willing user and explain the
necessary steps and the reasons behind them. Those unwilling to learn about
encryption will still be protected by the design principals of Conversations.
Conversations will simply not share or generate certain information for example
by encouraging the use of federated servers. Conversations will always
utilize the best available standards for encryption and media encoding instead
of reinventing the wheel. However it isn’t afraid to break with behavior patterns
that have been proven ineffctive.
