Hi, I wanna know what is the most secure and best messaging app/platform… Need an app that is crossplatform and has a very good numbers of features and security. (And it has to be FLOSS) I thought about XMPP clients, Signal, Session, IRC clients… Propose and explain me your choice

Where your friends are?

We should be glad that WhatsApp with E2EE is what people jumped to, instead of Facebook Messenger

WhatsApp is part of Facebook. You really think they operate differently?

Yup. Reality. No point using a hyper secure chat system if literally nobody you know is using it.

Use Matrix bridge Everything else 🙂

That’s sadly where it’s at. I’ve been lucky and managed to convince most of my friends to give Signal a go and in the end we stuck with it. But we’re all technically minded people so YMMV.

My friends knew I was using it. I said why with very simple words, focused on freedom and abuse over side effects, privacy and security, and they joined. I guess having friends who actually respect you helps a lot.

You’re one of the few lucky ones.
