    Sydent: Reference Matrix Identity Server

  • Don't use Ricochet, use Cwtch or Briar or Matrix. I would recommend Session but it's not possible to do that until Lokinet is fully audited by someone other than the developers, or until they implement Tor by default in another fork because I can't possibly trust Lokinet over it. I also don't recommend Signal because it requires a phone number and I definitely don't recommend WhatsApp. Please stop using WhatsApp and Pidgin (even with OTR messaging). Use something decentralized and that has PFS as well as a zero-trust model and strong privacy policy and protects your metadata.

  • loki-network

    Lokinet is an anonymous, decentralized and IP based overlay network for the internet.
