Yeah. Also there's Ricochet [1] and its continuation Ricochet Refresh [2], but these only do 1:1 messaging AFAIK. Ricochet was a big inspiration for my project Quiet.[3] Cwtch [4] also deserves a mention, though it depends on ephemeral servers and isn't fully p2p. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricochet_(software) 2. https://www.ricochetrefresh.net/ 3. https://tryquiet.org/ 4. https://cwtch.im/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
I like session (does not require phone number) but don't know anyone that uses it. Same for cwtch.im, but that is a bit more specific use case since its tor based. Source: about 1 year ago
It's called CWTCH. It's fairly limited but offers great anonymity. Source: over 1 year ago
Metadata protection (basically, defaults to Tor. E.g. Briar and Cwtch) so that only you can the recipient know when you communicate, how much etc. Source: over 1 year ago
Cool, I was wondering if https://cwtch.im/ was part of your research? Source: over 1 year ago
Keep in mind Matrix is a protocol for messaging just like email is a protocol for mail. There's more than one client and Element just so happens to be the most popular one. A really good runner-up would be FluffyChat. Then there's Cinny. Source: about 1 year ago
That's actually almost a ripoff of FluffyChat with the pull-up server list from Element's Android app. And given Matrix is trying to mimic the semantics of Discord servers with spaces, I don't even like those layouts. Gross. Source: about 1 year ago
There is a package I wanted to use fluffychat (Matrix Client) you can only get it from flathub and snap (officially) there is an aur package for arch (unofficial). This is just an example. There was also some other package that I no-longer use that had a similar case. More will become like this that's for sure. I don't like this future, it sucks. Source: over 1 year ago
@Hamuko I have been on matrix several years, and lately I've been really liking Schildi Chat [https://schildi.chat]. Also, many other users that I know really like Fluffy Chat [https://fluffychat.im/]. In any case, there are several more options nowadays. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Then I've found FluffyChat, and it seems to working just fine; and has a Linux version too. Source: over 1 year ago
