Session is pretty neat considering that it doesn’t require a cell phone number, unlike Signal messenger, which beats the purpose of anonymity.
I just purchased $20 in tokens. Perhaps one day in the future more people will start using it and nodes will start springing up all over, making the service much faster.
Has anyone else used or still uses Session? What are your thoughts? I think it has potential if more people have it a go.
Session was a good idea, but not implemented well
All file attachments go to a central server I think in Canada
They copied the signal protocol, and monero, to build their application but they removed perfect forward secrecy. Because it was hard to implement. This means of any session device ever gets compromised, somebody can look at the entire conversation from packets they captured on the wire
I’m much more excited about simplex and briar
I like briar, but I cannot use it on iOS. I did pay for Threema though.
Threema is actually less anonymous than signal, although Swiss privacy laws are [currently] very good.
