Wouldn't a delayed message be mail lol
Am instant message is good when it's signed properly by the user.
Sincerely, Raymond Holt
When its private and end-to-end encrypted at all costs.
Something like Whatsapp will never be or telegram is not by default.
Signal and Matrix are good.
Fun fact WhatsApp uses the same protocol for its message encryption as Signal, but not for its Metadata.
Meta/Facebook claim they use the Signal protocol. But no one can verify that since WhatsApp is not open source...
So just use Signal ๐.
That is protects my privacy and works well which is why I use Signal exclusively!
This
XMPP / Jabber. Because: Open Source, organization behind it, old and battle tested, possible to selfhost, lots of clients on all platforms, end-to-end encryption.
E2ee, lack of tracking, and system agnosticity.
Secondary to that is being decentralized, but that's a pipe dream.
Well, that might be delusional in regards to all that security and independence wishes here, but: being able to message people I want to message.
FOSS, E2E encryption bases on an open and well-known standard, and either fully distributed or self-hostable.
one that has file transfer is a plus
