Why not promote them here? What are the "the really good open source options"?
- darklajid 11y agoI think the consensus here is that TextSecure (and whatever the iOS client is called) is the Right Thing. Personally, I'm doing a last effort to use xmpp right now (just in the process to migrate to the unreleased prosody 0.10 for some features that I require) and otherwise Telegram looks like the 'sanest' option so far. Doesn't require a phone number as identifier Clients for ~all~ platforms that I care about
- aroch 11y agoTextSecure doesn't work more than 50% of the time for me. Messages I send never get delivered, or they get delivered and replies disappear. Or they send and show up 2 days later. Or the client cannot cope with key changes and just fails to do anything whatsoever
- skrowl 11y agoTextSecure = no web, windows, linux, or OS X client. Automatic fail for my uses.
