I at least have a core group of friends that use Signal and I keep Element installed on my phone and computers hoping someday more people move to that over the next decade
Signal ? Why not session ?
@MITM0
While there: add #briar to enjoy the powergrid failures @briar
@network_switch
I couldn't make sense of this comment. What are you saying happened here? (I clicked the links and whatnot.)
Is Session not a good app?
@victorz
Sorry didn't say that, just that I suggested you could consider having a look at briar, since it supports mesh networking over WiFi/bluetooth when cellular fails, which may be a plus to account for emergency situations.
Ah, that's an interesting feature. Cool. Thanks for explaining!
Why Session over Signal? 🙂
No phone numbers
Alright, that's good. Let's do Session vs SimpleX!
While we are at it let's add Cwtch as well
Ah yeah, that doesn't look like my cup of tea.
