So I just posted this to IRC & Discord... **smack hands** not everyone on there :P Putting it out here too :P --- Does anyone have any experience with things like Matrix, Signal and other encryption-friendly hopefully fully decentralised instant messaging platforms? I've read Matrix > Signal - mostly because Signal relies on some company running some central servers still (so whilst in theory still fine for privacy, not great for availability) I've been trying to use Kontalk for years... which is decentralised in the sense that anyone can run a server, and it's all XMPP based and has encryption too (with WhatsApp-like features such as looking people up by SMS-confirmed phone number). But that's reeeeeally dying now and barely anyone is on it (posts this to the mailing list too) --- -- Steven Maddox Lantizia
