    Yes, the Signal protocol uses the Double Ratchet algorithm to provide PFS. Over all it is the best messenger app there is currently in terms of privacy -> https://soatok.blog/2024/07/31/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-signal-competitor/

    Even if Signal cannot access anything you share on it, it has major flaws for me:

    • hosted in the USA on AWS, enemies of international laws
    • is not decentralised
    • a phone number must be linked to your account

    By the way my nickname is Saejima, a friend of Onizuka and Danma lol 😂

        In case Signal doesn’t work or my contracts didn’t receive the message I use XMPP with OMEMO encryption (I have a simple Prosody server on my home server) and DeltaChat (everybody has an e-mail address)

        DeltaChat is only to tell people "hey I sent you a message, answer! 🙂

        When I have no WIFI or Internet access I still have Briar but I use it rarely
