Anyone tried https://getsession.org/ https://getsession.org/ seriously?
- desktop and mobile clients, cross-platform (with an AppImage that installs on old systems)
- end to end encryption
- onion routing, based on the Oxen Service Nodes [0], which also propels Lokinet that allows to anonymously browse the web
- no phone number or email required
- group chats, voice messages, voice and video calls (webRTC), attachments, emojis

- maqp 2y agoNo forward secrecy in 2025. Lokinet is tiny compared to Tor's 9229 nodes https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/misc/all.html https://nusenu.github.io/OrNetStats/w/misc/all.html The last time I checked, a lot of the nodes are just run in Hetzner's data centers meaning there's not too many actors. I can't even find that list anymore so if anyone has one, I'd like to update my knowledge.
- johnisgood 2y agoYes, Session seems nice. For hard-core privacy people, use Ricochet Refresh, other than that, Briar and Session are great.
- tasuki 2y agoNot seriously, no. But I was completely amazed by the UX: get the app, create an account by clicking a button: no email/phone nor any other "verification". Back up the seed phrase so as not to lose your account. It just works!
