SimpleX Chat – the private messenger without any user IDs (not even random numbers) – v5.1 released with message reactions 🚀 and self-destruct passcode
Please review the whitepaper and / or website home page. I also wrote this post some time ago about why I believe that using pairwise identifiers should be a minimal requirement for a communication system to be considered private.

You can download XFTP CLI (Linux) to send and receive files via the command line here - you need the file named xftp-ubuntu-20_04-x86-64, rename it to xftp.

SimpleX Chat – the 1st messenger without user profile IDs (not even random numbers) – v4.4 released with disappearing messages and connection verification!
We absolutely should assume they can be compromised, but as SimpleX servers do not participate in the initial key exchange for e2e encryption, the server compromise will not lead to the compromise of e2e encryption security. I wrote more on MITM issue in this post. Further, the threat model here explains other consequences of compromised SimpleX servers.

session wont connect. is anyone else having issues?
We're at 1.10.8. Please update: https://github.com/oxen-io/session-desktop/releases
- Multiple accounts on session?
-
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.
