I'm curious, dear people active in dark web and underground security research : Do you use anything else than Session for dark web trading and communication ?
Also, if you're using anything else, I'm curious on other prominent platforms.
Do you folks have security concerns with Session ?

Hi folks! ✌️
Now you can download Crisps Chat 🍟 as an AppImage ⚙️🏔️👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Crisps-Chat/releases/tag/v0.7.1
And, also, it doesn't stores your data right in the folder where it locates now, so it doesn't clogs this folder (for example, your "Downloads" folder)
And I also put here some old screenshots of the app so you don't forget about how does it looks 😉
Have a nice evening 👋✌️

We need ONE major Europe-based messaging app that uses only a phone number as an ID. Privacy is less of a concern than security and sovereignty. We won’t be able to convince a large number of people to switch unless the transition is seamless.
Signal remains the best option for now, but surprisingly, people continue to stick with WhatsApp or Telegram.

Some people know it already and others don't: Mattermost have limited the search to 10,000 messages for self-hosted servers without license.
https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/issues/34271
A lot of users are disappointed, but honestly it was expected. I assume more limitations will be introduced soon, as they start to look for ways to extract more revenue.
A drop-in binary replacement called Mostlymatter is available that lifts the limits: https://framagit.org/framasoft/framateam/mostlymatter
I still haven't tried it, but it's on my list.
