A New Kind of Instant Messaging
tox.chat
Whether it's corporations or governments, there's just too much digital spying going on today. Tox is an easy to use application that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. While other big-name services require you to pay for features, Tox is totally free and comes without advertising — forever.

Anone heard about it? Anything bad about security?

I’ve checked speeds with my friend, the’re quite good, file transfer speed is insane compared to signal.

    It’s cool p2p protocol but nowdays no good clients, most of them unmaintained and qtox have so shit code.Feels like developer didn’t learn anything about writing safe c++ code.On android there trifa app but it’s works… pretty weird,there also atox but it’s doesn’t implemented feature about video/voice calls.

      Looks like it’s got same problems as Matrix does (despite architecture diffirences).

          What are the main problems of Matrix? I have searched around for this but not found anything concrete. I use Element with E2EE and haven’t had any real problems with it.

            It supports unencrypted messages. Lots of metadata is not encrypted (eg all reactions).

            Many orgs cant use software where users can send messages unencrypted. Its a security risk, even if the user did it by mistake.

              I think most orgs would want to own the server and for messages to not be end-to-end encrypted. All connections to the server would still be encrypted.

              That would be more in-line with slack or something.

              If you’re referring to federation specifically then that’s going to get pretty complicated with security policies.

          I mean efficient clients that are both easy for non-techy ppl and their 4GB of RAM.
