@ParadeGrotesque @thegibson I'm trying Silence for now. Suggestions welcomed.   @Warlock @ParadeGrotesque @pricklyheart @thegibson Signal, Session, Silence...  @Warlock @pricklyheart @TheGibson From their FAQ: "Sessionβs onion routing system, known as onion requests, uses Oxenβs network of Oxen Service Nodes, which also power the $OXEN cryptocurrency. Check out Oxen.io to find more information on the tech behind Sessionβs onion routing." So, this is built in Australia (which is very hostile to encryption), and it seems very very close to some shady crypto thingie. Thanks but no thanks. Last audit was in 2018, by QuarksLab (which is a pretty good company) and it did find some major vulnerabilities in all applications (iOS, Android & Desktop). Not exactly encouraging, even though they are pretty upfront about it, which is commedable.  @Warlock @thegibson @pricklyheart @ParadeGrotesque
I use Session. Had good experiences so far. Jami is another great P2P messaging app. :session: :jami:  @esoteric @thegibson For me, #signal messages arrive almost at once. If you're seeing delays, it may mean that #Android is putting Signal to sleep. Try going into Android settings and disabling battery optimisation for Signal. Also make sure you're using the latest version of the app: a few months ago, I saw the problem you describe, but it was fixed by an update. @markusl @thegibson Ok. I will look into it. But Telegram's UI + Signal's privacy and encryption would make an unparalled app. @esoteric @thegibson I've never struggled with the #signal UI, but we all have different preferences, and there's nothing wrong with that. π |

Using Signal. Can confirm.
