Open source P2P alternative to Slack and Discord built on Tor and IPFS
How does it compare to the more mature Tox[0]?
-
Jitsi.org has started requiring authentication
You already can, apart from some DHT and bootstrapping stuff.
I tried to like Jami, but it never worked right when I tried it. I didn't find a decent Android Tox client with video call, but it should work alright for text.
- signal, element ou wire ?

I'm designing a spy game and need an Anonymous Chat App that's easy to use.
Still, Tox still around and kicking 😎

Signal would 'walk' from UK if Online Safety Bill undermined encryption
jami.net and tox.chat sort of being the way skype originally was.

Is there a privacy-friendly site to upload an image with someone that can be deleted later?
Options are limited. All modern messengers require trust in the company running the server they connect to. So the only way to eliminate needing that trust is to use a messenger that is peer 2 peer (no server). This is limiting though since no server means no offline messaging. I know of one messenger that is encrypted, anonymous (required no identifying info to sign up) and is peer 2 peer. tox.chat

AFAIK Conversations is one of the best, if not the best. On F-Droid it’s gratis, on Google Play it costs something.

Jabber.org, the original XMPP IM service has migrated to Prosody IM
Conversations [1] is the best Android XMPP client I know. IIRC they pushed the adoption of OMEMO and implemented it first, before the desktop clients could catch up.
-
Chat app without undo or delete of messages
Maybe have a look at Briar or good old Jabber (XMPP) with OTR or OMEMO, e.g. implemented in Conversations.
