Why using a censorship platform when fighting for freedom & privacy ?
To the developer working on SimpleX,
Why are you still using Microsoft Github ? (and by extend Reddit ! )

I had myself a question for the maintainers. I was planning to use the discussions and to do so, create an account :'( But it seem that Microsoft really doesn't like Tor: \ !
Cheers.
They did the same with Flash with the help of adobe.
Could SimpleX be P2P ?
Hi,
I've just tested SimpleX. Great piece of software, all the options are really well thought ...
Sadly it's not P2P (all the messages pass by servers... ) is there a way to make-it P2P ?
Thanks.
A little update.
I've just tested simplex on Android.
it's very well thought out ! The features make sense. UNFORTUNATELY it's not P2P ! all the messages pass by their servers :'( with Briar it's P2P.... weirdly they claim their way is better than P2P ! any comment on that ?
In my point of view, if messages are stored somewhere it's mean the can be process[^1] !
Cheers.

jami’s good but it uses turn server to verify your name
So is it secure ? does that mean you rely on those server to be able to created an account ?
I think your mistaken... Can someone confirm ?
So I was eager to test Jami, but on Windows it require Windows 10.. so no way --> https://itvision.altervista.org/why-windows-10-sucks.html
anyway I gave a quick try on a test machine (win10) But I got , not matter what I entered
Too bad because it had on paper, a lot of nice features..
On linux, too bad they don't provide (yet) an AppImage...
no ! thanks ! look promising too.
I'll try it and give my review... but is it require to make a "jami" account on their server !??
Privacy minded instant messaging quest.
Hi,
I'm looking for an instant messaging ( IM ) apps software/protocol that run on Android and computer
and meet the following requirements :
- Open source !
- E2EE
- Messages are send in direct ! (not passing by a server)
- handle group
- Truly private ! ( That's the tricky part )
The closest that I've found is Briar
- \+can work without internet ! (bluetooth, local wifi, files !)
- \+ use TOR
- \- Mutual party have to exchange key (or your can introduce someone)
- \- sending media suck for now, poor image quality
- \- no call or voice messaging
I've been looking for alternatives:
Session- Sadly it keep ALL the conversation into server !!! so it's a no go.
- speek
- I didn't try it yet, any feedback ?
- simplex
- it look very promising ! (didn't tried it yet)
- \+ seem to handle multiple profile in one !
- \+ do not require that both party send an invitation !
- and have also a optional long term address
! I didn't found (yet) if the messages are send in direct or pass by a server..\ It's not P2P all the messages pass by servers.. too bad.
All post about alternatives or experience with the one that I cited are welcome.
