Anyone else wondering?

Not a fan of giving my phone number to federate to every server.

Session is like Signal but decentralised (like Tor, not like Fedi) and without the phone no requirement. That sounds better to me.

Appreciate the heads up on session.

Session doesn’t have perfect forward secrecy. Session also depends on the oxen Blockchain not collapsing.

Session has its uses, just be aware.

Maybe, but if I want to privately talk to randos from the internet, then using my phone number like with Signal is a no-go from the start. Threema is paid and only partially open source.

Session is fully decentralised and while you can think of crypto whatever, at least it gives people the incentive to run nodes, unlike Tor where the incentives are all over the place, or centralised messengers which are fully reliant on one entity.
