I like that there's no need for a centralised server & that you can self host at least 1 half of your DMs. I like that they ask for no personally identifiable information from you. Migration between devices is by a data dump into an encrypted file. I've been using it for 2 years & I have my family on it. They know I won't always be connected to the mobile network. Voice calls have a delay sometimes but the quality is fine. I've not seen a better alternative yet. I'm very close to nuking telegram & signal.

Algunas ventajas son: -no te registra ID de usuario de ningún tipo (Bitchat de JDorsey imita una cosa similar cambiándola todo el tiempo) -podés compartir tu nombre o que el sistema te genere uno incógnito -te permite compartir links de un solo uso (no peligra que alguien lo encuentre luego) -una vez que alguien te borra, no podés hablarle más y perdés el contacto (no funciona igual que bloquear a alguien en Wpp) -las llamadas y videollamadas andan perfecto sin tarjeta sim física, ni esim

Privacy. Yes.

But do we know / or has it being audited that servers relaying messages can’t read? Most people will use default servers that’s why I’m asking

Pero varios chats podrían correr sin tarjeta no? Ok whatsapp requiere tarjeta pero telegram no lo pide creo

What makes you believe it’s more private than other alternatives?

Have you tried Keet? It’s P2P, no server, no middle man literally impossible for anybody to spy or listen.

Podés tener múltiples contactos, chats y grupos sin sim, esim, ni siquiera un número virtual. Tanto WhatsApp como Telegram solicitan número de teléfono para el registro. A pesar de eso, Telegram tiene la función opcional de ocultar el número y mostrar solamente nombre de usuario, lo cual mejora la privacidad. Wpp esto aún no lo tiene, dijeron de implementarlo en 2025/26 con una nueva actualización.

I don't know for sure, no. I know they can't leak info they don't have though. The greater risk is that the other device is running stock android or iOS and is scraping the screen.

Yeah I use keet to move text & files between devices. Basically like sync thing It's pretty crappy for instant messaging & chat groups though.

i used keet a lot... though I think for instant messenger is still not the best

It's great for private voice & video calls but I'd use simplex to co-ordinate the calls. Nostr is really good for a persistent identity. If someone is verified by myself on Nostr I can then connect via a 1 time Simplex link. If the link later breaks, it's easy enough to re-establish later.

I does not require KYC data to open an account(eg phone number), like other services. Double hop onion routing… it works for me.

Read about the protocol on the website the information is already there to prove to you why it's better then most it's not hidden.

I'm trying to check if someone has actually validated it... whatever its said on the webside in general and conceptually I can see the value but wondering if someone has a more educated review than my overly simplificated understanding

I find it excellent for instant messaging and groups? What's the issues?
