No one will read this, but I wanted to express my thoughts about @arcanechat.
I'm really disappointed: they're making fun of Session shutting down, claiming it's not really decentralized. The thing is, ArcaneChat is decentralized too, but not in the same way. If their server goes down, all users from their instance won't be able to chat again until it's back up.

Session uses a network with many nodes. For it to go completely down, all of the nodes must be down at the same time.
If a new user discovers ArcaneChat through these posts, I don't think they'll have a good first impression.
One last thing: you're saying Session got millions of dollars but can't survive—but you also asked for donations in one of your posts.
I find that behaviour extremely hypocritical, completely irresponsible, and unprofessional.

Session is not as decentralized as you think, you will not even be able to send files anymore, it is not us saying it but Session themselves:
@arcanechat First of all, thank you for taking the time to read my posts.
On the first point about the ArcaneChat relays, I admit I didn't knew about that, and you got the point here.
However, about the donations, Session and ArcaneChat has asked for donations, so that's why I'm pointing that out.
Also, yes, I am aware that Session attachments may not work if it shuts downs, but messaging would still work.

and then??? I didn't criticize they ask for donations, I criticized they need so much money to operate, do you even know how much money ArcaneChat have received in donations since its inception???? less than 1000 euros, the point being made here is that the operation cost is much lower
anyways, you are free to use whatever you like
