session-android VS wire-server

Other alternatives include Session (free) and Threema (paid - 5€).

Test it by downloading session at getsession.org and DM the bot by starting a new message and sending it to “Simple” (without quotes)

Figured there should be moves to set one up if not - https://getsession.org/

* marketing "Perfect Forward Secrecy" AKA "Forward Secrecy"[0].

I favor Session Private Messenger[1] because it is decentralized and allows third party clients, but Signal enthusiasts warn me that the Session client may, hypothetically, at some future date, integrate a cryptocurrency, as the Signal client already does[2].

If you have a mobile phone number, the domestic intelligence agency knows exactly where you are at all times and any LEO (without a warrant) can also find you. In addition, there have been numerous CCC presentations showing how insecure the global (excluding US) and (separately) US carriers are guilty of promiscuous metadata trafficking ($$) and insecure SS7 setups. As a consequence, for low $, you can go to any one of several shady websites and find the last location of almost any phone number (person unique ID) globally. There are additional varying exploitable vulnerabilities depending on the exact combination of {handset x carrier x country} to impersonate them, tap their line, reveal their exact location, and redirect their phone number through a third-party handset or even a PBX. These are more expensive and some capabilities are forbidden for all but a few selective intelligence uses.

Session (Signal fork) doesn't use phone numbers. It's pretty well-designed overall and uses an onion routing approach. It's already a superset of Signal except it doesn't use phone numbers. https://getsession.org

PS: Using regular TOR on home broadband or cloud servers is relatively risky and inefficient. Sybil attacks on it are common. And to network operators and security agencies it gives an easy "flow tag" of your uplink and exit node data traffic as automatically suspicious.

Use encrypted messaging apps. Several apps allow you to connect with others securely if you're using a smartphone. These include Signal and WhatsApp (both owned by Facebook), as well as Telegram and Wire (owned by Google). These services use end-to-end encryption, so they don't store any data on their servers or share it with anyone else.

For work each service it its own cabal project, and has src/ (the service) and test/ (in 3 styles)

Haha. I stated using reddit after finding it when wire.com. Back in the day the top 10 reddit posts would show on Wire. This was around 2006/07. I specifically remember there being a science. You made me think, maybe I'm losing my mind so I checked into it. Sure enough there is a timeline available. Here is a 2007 accolade for r/ science, " For most of the year, "science" and "programming" are the most popular subreddits. I like the info for year 2008, "This year is dominated by the launch of numerous new subreddits." I do appreciate how confident you were in your incorrect answer though. You are probably a Digg.com refugee.

Is there any way if I self-host element, I can make it completely private? like somehow to remove the explore room option? like the users can't join any public room kind of what rocket chat does. or even wire.com. is it possible ? i want to make it completely private for the company

Also, I use it for my work @ https://wire.com
