MESSAGE ME ON AN E2EE DECENTRALIZED APP OR DON'T MESSAGE ME 💬
there are so many available, don't act like discord is the only thing you can install
✨ TOP TIER - these are protocol-based, use any app you want or make your own:
- Matrix
reccomended apps: SchildiChat Next, Cinny
- XMPP
reccomended apps: monocles
- Nostr DMs
note: for best security, make sure your client supports NIP-17
✅ here are some other good options:
- Briar
- SimpleX
- Session
- TOX
note: this one may reveal your IP if not using tor
honourable mention: email with GPG
🗑️ TRASH TIER - DO NOT USE:
- WhatsApp: proprietary, KYC, encrypted but centralized
- Signal: KYC, encrypted but centralized
- telegram: unencrypted by default, centralized
- discord: unencrypted, centralized, and somehow still used by FOSS projects??
---
remember, you can install multiple apps for maximum compatibility with other humans, just don't let it be a centralized one!
let me know about any others you know :)
