A New Kind of Instant Messaging
tox.chatWhether it's corporations or governments, there's just too much digital spying going on today. Tox is an easy to use application that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. While other big-name services require you to pay for features, Tox is totally free and comes without advertising — forever.
Anone heard about it? Anything bad about security?
I’ve checked speeds with my friend, the’re quite good, file transfer speed is insane compared to signal.

No, I mean the clients.
element web consumes 2-3 GB of RAM according to
about:processeswhen my matrix.org account with membership in a few dozen public rooms is logged in.The android client is also as slow as nearly nothing else on my phone. It lags, so much that it’s not rare that I have to wait seconds before a click gets processed to start opening a menu.
And that’s how it is when the app is synced. While it is still syncing it’s even worse.
I have element x. It still can take seconds until it is usable, like if I haven’t used it for a while, on a fast connection. But yeah, at least it’s not minutes.
While most of the known chat apps already work this way, I am sad that element x won’t try in any way to store a copy of my messages on the phone for offline access anymore.
