It’s well known that NSA and also maybe others have already broken encryption algorithms in many applications. idk about Signal tho.

Yeah no, the NSA isn’t capable of breaking modern encryption.

Simplex is the only one I would recommend out of those

  • Jami is based on a ancient broken codebase and it lacks a security audit

  • Session has several issues but most recently the screwed over the people who were silly enough to buy crypto.

  • I have never heard of Cwtch so that rules that out

Imo, I think Signal is a good “normie-oriented secure messenger”, but I think Simplex is more worthy of focus.

Agreed. The thing with Signal is that it has a longer history and a lower barrier to entry.

The only one I trust is Briar.

Not a bad choice. Briar has usability limitations but in terms of democracy it is a powerful tool.

I convinced my non-tech nerd partner to switch to Matrix and it’s been working suprisingly well for us.

Is that (non)-(tech nerd) or (non-tech) (nerd) partner?
