    What are your thoughts on briar. Its like session but you don’t need a central server to chat over tor. It has use features where you don’t even need internet.

    Downside is that it is only available for android.

      I don’t use it because it’s Android only, which greatly limits communications.

      Berty.tech might become an alternative to some of Briar’s features.

      Session/Status don’t need a central server either (decentralized and distributed).

      The question I have is how much is something decentralized/distributed and how peer discovery works. Ideally everyone would be a client/server (like bittorrent and I2P).
