session wont connect. is anyone else having issues?

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.

Ergo Chat – A modern IRC server written in Go
Hey, your project looks interesting, thanks for building and sharing it.
One question: are you aware of Jami[1], f.k.a. Ring? If so, how does it compare to Snikket?
I see that Snikket requires a server, whereas Jami is P2P. The benefit of a server is probably that messages can be stored centrally and not on each device. But I can see pros and cons of either approach.

How to copy a file between devices?
I am surprised to not see Jami ( http://jami.net ) mentioned here yet. It is a GNU project and is fully cross platform. I use it to send files and messages between my devices, as easy as Telegram or Whatsapp.

Have you tried any decentralized messengers?
Try Jami https://jami.net/! I'm kind of blown away by how well it works! I originally tried it about a year ago, but it was kind of a pain. My issues with it were fixed when they incorporated UnifiedPush. However, since iPhone will never have something like UnifiedPush, I wouldn't recommend it for iPhone users or people with many iPhone-using friends to convert.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing session-desktop and jami-cli you can also consider the following projects:
qTox - qTox is a chat, voice, video, and file transfer IM client using the encrypted peer-to-peer Tox protocol.
Tox - The future of online communications.
berty - Berty is a secure peer-to-peer messaging app that works with or without internet access, cellular data or trust in the network
TextSecure - A private messenger for Android.
