Hope no one is using Ghost.

Skype was also replaced by Teams, which I wouldn't even recommend for regular communication. It feels like Microsoft is playing a joke on us at this point.
 
When asking about which communication and collaboration platform to use, a use case and threat model are defining factors.

Rocket.chat for the broad audience, Matrix for some, XMPP/Jabber for command line lovers, Tox for criminals, Briar for schizos

We should not advise any particular end user profile - especially the ones with criminal behavior - to use any communication platform that may facilitate their illicit business fin4774" Seriously, there are bad guys reading these forums and I really pay attention what and how I write anything - no need for aiding and abetting indictment.

Of the humor, ToX and Briar are beside being decentralized solutions - hence, there may be (are) performance penalties - simply another jar with honey. Also, TOR may be implied with those solutions, so I would keep any content above private from them.

XMPP is a stable protocol. As an overlay, can utilize encrypted content - OTR, OMEMO, openPGP & S/MIME and other closed cryptographic solutions. By architecture is centralized - which is decent - but can be federated - which is optimal and clustered - which is perfect.

Rocket.chat is a not mature and is an quasi-integrated derivative.

Never use something that is created just for the purpose of defeating the surveillance.

Matrix 🙄 is a British blue pill 😎 Do not use it 🙄

Sometimes, a properly implemented TLS - as a transit encryption - offers more confidentiality then any content encryption designed by youngsters can 😉

I've read controversial opinions about Simplex, also it is not mature yet and could contain various bugs and vulnerabilities.
so I haven't tried it myself yet, but possibly will in the future.

We tested plethora of competitors' applications, including Simplex. They all failed, even SecuSmart and Silent Circle products and some from

Would be nice to get some input from @mraleph and others with tech background.

I don't want to go too far off-topic, but your quote about free doesn't apply to this type of application. I'm just suggesting an actual secure E2E app. In terms of features, it's garbage compared to Telegram, but if security is what you want, its best of the bunch.

Well, this thread is interesting and nothing we discussed is by even the most relaxed definiton off-topic.

Majority of secure communication applications for any platform is either not secure because of the design errors or is intentionaly honeypot. Sometimes they have secondary benefit, beside being COMINT...

This may be off-topic.

So, no specifics, then. I am all for hearing criticism of SimpleX because, as it stands, in my opinion, it's the best solution if you want an E2E messaging app with no real identifiable info. Open source, audited. I'd like to know why I might be wrong on that...

I respect your opinion despite that you have a wrong one. Time will prove that to you. And, I wish you without detrimental consequences.

Auditing and standards' certification doesn't mean anything 🙄 It's as accounting - can be quite creative fin4774"

I will always share publicly what I can - as I believe in certain transparency posture. But, I will not publicly comment specifics nor go against competition.

Without secure environment, no application and cryptographic system can protect the content.

I'm not sure, considering the amount of gray matter on both sides 🙄 Don't you know what sarcasm is 😎 On a serious note, LE interpret even the naive text for the purpose of prosecution as a proof per se.

The context of this forum is relevant. There are roamers at OCT provoking non-appropriate content. Even the joke can lead to legal consequences.

  • No!
  • They go to the dark web for the necessary information as they can ask without moderation.
  • They are NOT trying to do REAL business legally like us. They are NOT trying to provide value to the system. They are into scams and fraud.
  • CIs are here (but not so many) "if" they could get compensation, but that is a BIG "if"

are they better than Skype, why isn't skype popoular any longer ?

I never used ghost.

Skype became a shitshow the moment Microsoft took over. They changed some of the drivers which led to a shitty sound quality.

Around those days they lost a ton of users. In niche industries (telecom) its still the to go to solution.
