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

This spreadsheet is a very helpful comparison of the different messaging apps. I’ve been using SimpleX for quite some time now, and the only issue I have is some lag on the iOS client.

Thank you

the spreasheet is really good, but rcs is not there - i’d love to know how that compares.

Use on multiple devices (in addition to mobile device)

Anything that isn’t green here is a ‘no’. The amount of service requiring mobile devices is absurd. I would hope many of us would love to make the jump out of the Apple/Google duopoly at some point if not already, & these sort of lock-ins should be avoided if you put even two thoughts into the future.
