Bonus points for one that does not even have your personal information e.g. Session.

Session is unfortunately not really an improvement. Signal have started work on options which won't need a number to register, I'd rather wait for that

Session is pretty much dead at this point

also matrix....

Wasn't session closing down?

Add Delta Chat, Briar and Cwtch to that list!

SimpleX best so far. Decentralized but not federated, anonymous and with multi-hops

[-] Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org 4 points 11 hours ago

Briar is in a whole different league, definitely one to use, but at that point may as well add Meshtastic stuff to the list.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 11 hours ago

Reticulum at that point. Probably its best use case
