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

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

+1 for session
also matrix....

Wasn't session closing down?

[-] slothrop@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours 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 day ago

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 day ago

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

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Session is pretty much dead at this point
