Bonus points for one that does not even have your personal information e.g. Session.

+1 for session
also matrix....

Wasn't session closing down?

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, but they met their funding goal, pared their team, and are alive and well, for the time being.

Add Delta Chat, Briar and Cwtch to that list!

[–] Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Briar is in a whole different league, definitely one to use, but at that point may as well add Meshtastic stuff to the list.

Reticulum at that point. Probably its best use case

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

SimpleX best so far. Decentralized but not federated, anonymous and with multi-hops

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Session is pretty much dead at this point

[–] Natanael@infosec.pub 3 points 1 week ago

Session is unfortunately not really an improvement. Signal have started work on options which won't need a number to register, I'd rather wait for that
