anyone knows of something like #Tox but with working video chats for #MacOS / #OSX / whatever Apple calls it right now ?

It should be #foss and privacy first and prefereably p2p like Tox. #XMPP might be good but I couldn't find an open server so far and self hosting is not currently viable for me.

@schlink is the UI still bad? 😞
because last time I tried it... it was bad
and slow
slower than it has any right to be

@grainloom I find the UI just fine, though a caveat on all this is I haven’t used the video calling.

Re: slowness, app-launch time (decrypting received messages) can still be a bit slow, though on iOS app it seems to be a max of 5 seconds these days. Once open/decrypted, I find it snappy enough.

Obvs it’s not p2p.... there might be something that checks off more of your boxes.
