Every official Session community hosted on the getsession.org domain, as well as the official websites (https://getsession.org, https://oxen.io) are unreachable as of now. https://lokinet.org seems to have issues as well.

Monero integration in BLACK protocol, a privacy focused fork of THORChain
Oxen is very much alive, as is Haven. Technologically Electroneum is very far away now, not being a privacy coin anymore, but it did start as a Monero fork and at least is still around.

My list of favorite secure messaging apps
Really great list. Thank you. Some of these I wasn't even aware of. I've been using Session for about a year. A year ago it definitely had some missed messages and I was about to ditch it but I held strong and haven't experienced that issue in a while. Been flawless for about half a year. The Oxen/Loki network overall https://oxen.io/ is a really interesting alternative to Monero and Tor. It's interesting how it can be both!

Tornado Cash and WHY privacy chains are important!?!
Lets kickstart with Oxen, an open source privacy tech blockchain with 2 working products; Sessions Messenger - (a fully anonymous encrypted messaging service) and Lokinet - (a cutting edge low-latency onion router) - which both utilize the Oxen Service Node network to safeguard user privacy and anonymity.
