Anøm claimed to offer total security — but claims are worthless without independent verification.

We make some big claims too: we're onion-routed and decentralised with anonymous sign-up.

The difference is, our security audit by @[email protected] proves it.

The Criminals Thought the Devices Were Secure. But the Seller Was the F.B.I.

Global law enforcement officials revealed a three-year operation in which they said they intercepted over 20 million messages. Hundreds of arrests were made in more than a dozen countries.

@session
TL:DR

Better than #signal

#Lokinet being in a 5-eyes country, might still be forced to give out metadata (connections between users) to authorities.

Until there is full decentralization of #session servers I would still go for #matrix #element or #xmpp

@nmke_de @session

Yes #briar got a great update recently. #Jami is cool too.

However many people require asynchronous comms, so not comparing.

#matrix #element supports #recaptcha.

@Br0m3x

Was not aware at all, never got one, even when using Tor. Thanks for calling out.

From the discussion in github, they seem to support *any* captcha, not specifically reCaptcha, but disappointing anyway.

@jcast @session I really like the #matrix protocol for instant messaging. It feels like a discord without voice. Element is the best app yet. With tor, webbrower sessions work fine.

An matrix Android app with tor built in is still needed.

Orbot and element works, but another VPN in background like NordVPN will not work at the same time.

Iam running a matrix instance behind TOR but i can't get people used to it.
