Hi, I wanna know what is the most secure and best messaging app/platform… Need an app that is crossplatform and has a very good numbers of features and security. (And it has to be FLOSS) I thought about XMPP clients, Signal, Session, IRC clients… Propose and explain me your choice

    • SimpleX is libre software and the most decentralised voice chat here.
    • Briar is libre and the most decentralised but is missing voice chat.
    • XMPP and Matrix are libre software and federated/decentralised. XMPP servers use far less resources, so creates more decentralisation than Matrix in practice.
    • Signal is libre and more popular but centralised, acceptable.
    • Avoid Threema’s app which requires a service as a software substitute.
