Xmpp clients are completely awful on Linux desktop, and can't do voice and video chat correctly with clients on Android like Conversations

You can with dino. I wish I had the time to work on getting A/V calls back in gajim. It could be worth asking an NLNet grant for that…

Yes it works but it lacks QOL features like automatic compression of videos or images when sending attachments. A bit too barebones.

		Why would you want to automatically degrade the quality?

		How would you send an uncompressed video/image? Like thumbnails?

There is not a single good XMPP client for macOS or iOS either. There are a couple of minimally functional ones that are aesthetically dreadful, but nothing that would come even close to replicating what people would expect even from Signal or WhatsApp, let alone a monster like Discord. Certainly nothing that I could ask friends or family to use.

In addition to Dino, you could use movim as a PWA.

		And they are both compatible, unlike Element and ElementX ;)
