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 :)
