Anyone using Session? I finally got most of my friends and family on Signal so I'm not gonna switch but I just heard about it, seems pretty good.

Have a look here: https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html

I like the comparison and prefer simplex as an replacement to Signal in the Future. Self hosted Matrix Servers are a good idea aswell if you have the money and knowledge.

No. XMPP would be the best choice.

Nah, that would be Matrix, XMPP, DeltaChat or SimpleX

Matrix isn’t necessarily p2p

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh yes that too

Wasn't WhatsApp essentially built from Signal's base protocol anyway? Why use the meta clone when the original is right there?
