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 / 11 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: over 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

Perhaps. I am looking at https://saidit.net/, Quora, and other platforms as well. Source: 12 months ago

What's the criteria you'd need to be met for "something comparable"? Because I'd say running our own https://saidit.net/ site would be pretty identical. Source: 12 months ago

I love IRC but it serves a slightly different purpose. It isn't threaded and it sacrifices permanency for instantaneousness. In my opinion, a forums and chat rooms compliment each other. Saidit is one good Reddit alternative that implements IRC. It's based on Reddit's code but with some modifications. Every page has an embedded IRC box specific to that subcommunity.

For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing). Source: 12 months ago

Someone already did it - it's called saidit and it works well but very few people have gone there so far. Source: 12 months ago
