I have deep reservations about SimpleX. No source code, one very private developer with a Russian name. Sounds like a honey-trap to me.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social I use session, simplex and element

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Why not XMPP stuff?

@Tutanota@mastodon.social @threemaapp@mastodon.social and @signalapp@mastodon.world obviously. Any other is the Devil. 😈

Matrix! 🤩 Decentral, federated and selfhostable. And no dependency on an Android app on a single device to keep the account alive.

Ich nutze mittlerweile ausschließlich #SimpleX und bin sehr zufrieden damit.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Threema.
About #Session: They are supported by Loki Group, and one of these guys was connect to the alt-right. Is this still true?

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Your graph is no longer accurate as Signal now offer an option without revealing your phone number.

[–] LawmanLungis@mastodon.social 1 points 14 hours ago

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Signal. Because:

[–] cygnathreadbare@retro.pizza 1 points 15 hours ago

@Tutanota@mastodon.social There should be another row, "is it hosted in the USA", since that makes them liable to a FISA warrant and a government mandated backdoor that they can't disclose. Main reason Signal is not an option for me.

[–] HudobniVolk@fosstodon.org 1 points 14 hours ago

@Tutanota@mastodon.social For broader use i use Signal. Private Element and SimpleX.

[–] gilbert31@mastodon.online 1 points 15 hours ago

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Signal FTW.

[–] uhuru@libretooth.gr 1 points 15 hours ago

@Tutanota@mastodon.social matrix is considered a metadata hell, so, not sure i'd call element "anonymous" (at least, that was the case, last time i checked :

#cwtch might be another alternative to keep an eye on.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social My favorite Chat app is Threema. Both private and anonymous.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Signal! Works great, very easy to use and doesn't require PHD to understand it
