much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
founded 5 years ago
MODERATORS
hmm no one said matrix. i rather like matrix. the whole key and passcode seems to confuse people but once its set up its nice and free... and you can host your own server if youre super paranoid.
Didn’t Amazon buy wikr a couple years ago anyways? That’s when I deleted it. Signal.
EDIT: as pointed out by LWD, op is likely just starting conversation to have another account recommend spyware, WireMin. Like he did in this thread’s comments: https://lemmy.world/comment/6346585 and I found on another post: https://lemmy.world/comment/6032047
Yes, they have been shit for years, with Amazon buying them, CBP using them in defiance of FOIA laws.

Use SimpleX Chat instead
Molly as hardened signal alternative
SimpleX gang here 🤔
SimpleX is a good replacement
Fucking rip. I'd suggest signal but it's not quite the same obvi. Uh, Session is also good.
Haven't tried Session, though it seemed like a good service, until I found it lacks perfect forward secrecy, which IMO seems like a bad decision. I think Berty seems interesting too, but it seems like it might take a short while before it becomes a relevant option.
Also not a fan of Session missing FS. So I replaced it with SimpleX, but it's quite a dead community. The app also feels like something beta, but I have high hopes for it
I also am looking.
