Better, but still not great, because a lot of metadata gets collected even if the conversations themselves do not. Might I suggest SimpleX instead?

I actually tried SimpleX because of this person..

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 3 points 17 hours ago

SimpleX gets a lot of things right. In particular:

  • no public identifiers
  • ability to chat anonymously
  • not dependent on centralized servers
  • multiple user profiles

My main concern for them is that they are backed by several investors (some VCs) with no concrete public plan as to how to pay them back.
