How does SonoBus compares to Signal with regards to encryption, quality and latency?

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.

Also I prefer Session over matrix: https://getsession.org/

#IranProtests: Signal is blocked in Iran. You can help people in Iran reconnect to Signal by hosting a proxy server.
Any info on how well the Session messenger would work in Iran?

Help people in Iran reconnect to Signal – a request to our community
I suggest they use Session Private Messenger instead. To judge by the activity in the public "Session" group in the client today, Iranians are not having any trouble with connectivity. That might be because Session uses a decentralized network.

Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS
This looks like a much more polished alternative to Ricochet: https://github.com/ricochet-im/ricochet

Where is there a tutorial for Ricochet Relay?
Ricochet seems dead. It's been five years since its last commit to their git repo, and their website's certificate expired last year. This is probably why you can't find much information.

The Code the FBI Used to Wiretap the World
I think something like Ricochet (if it were still actively maintained) could be a good solution.

Every user is their own Tor onion service, so you get E2E encryption and no centralized servers. The whole thing hinges on the security of Tor itself which is probably a safe enough bet.

Ricochet reborn: A user friendly TorChat for everybody available for GNU/Linux and in the Mac Store and Windows Store.
With that being said, if I had just one piece of advice - try to avoid ostentatious phrases like Speek is by far the most secure way to converse or 100% anonymous. Tor itself is not 100% anonymous, so that should immediately make anyone cautious. One of the things that I admired about the original Ricochet was that the developers never made brazen claims about their software. In fact, quite the opposite.

Why don't we have a privacy-compliant peer-to-peer communication platform yet? (something like the bittorrent of messaging and chat and blogs etc)

A Statement on Recent Events Between Signal and the Anti-Censorship Community
> there isn't a currently easily available obvious way to have private secure conversations.
Ricochet[1] works really well. It uses Tor hidden services to communicate. Your Ricochet ID is your onion address. To add a contact, you input their Ricochet ID and a short message, and Ricochet connects to their onion address and sends a contact request. If the contact request is accepted then you'll each show up as a contact on each other's client and can chat whenever you want.
Tor is really perfect for this, you can't get more private or censorship-resistant than Tor.
The UI is currently not great, but that's not a protocol problem.
The biggest problem with Ricochet is that hardly anyone is using it.
