As most people here might know, Session utilises a TOR-like onion routing system with some changes to route traffic. The username is the public key whilst the password is the private key.

Recently, a new project built on top of this seems to be in the works: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/freespeech/

I’d like to know the community’s opinion of session and how much would you trust its technology. Thanks!

    I have Session. Given that it’s a fork of Signal and more anonymous I’m inclined to trust it from a privacy standpoint but can’t say I have the knowledge to really critique it’s tech. People aren’t really on there yet, at least nobody I know, so I don’t have much use for it yet but I would if it catches on a bit more at some point.

      It is not a fork of signal. They use the Signal protocol for encryption and probably the way messages are composed, thats basically it.

        Thanks. They’ve referred to themselves as a fork of Signal but maybe a bit of an oversimplification
