Signal impersonation risk?
Session's reasoning seems much more... cagey. Telling people to recreate their identities themselves sounds a little like the Threema stopgap solution, but it's much sloppier (I can't imagine end users WANT to recreate their account and communicate this to all their contacts via a third party). They're talking about implementing this eventually, but the ticket for doing so was closed right after saying this.

Speek! Decentralized Messenger now available for Android
Can't speak to the rest, I'm not OP, but here's the source: https://github.com/Speek-App/Speek
I found the git. Looks good, although I don't know what they're thinking with this licence - why not just do GPLv2, so it'll stay open source, and can go into the Apple store (unlike AGPL).
