with all the choices I have, I don’t really know what to choose, there is Matrix, Signal, Briar, Jami, and alot of other privacy focused messenger app that I haven’t even heard of.
need to discuss things with people on the internet, mostly people who already knows privacy stuff.
I need to choose one that’s the most popular one to avoid having people making accounts, what’s the most commonly used (private) messenger app?
Wire server-side is FLOSS (https://github.com/wireapp/wire-server) but its main company is now in the US and their terms and conditions… well… also take in account the metadata about people you contact which is still saved in plain text in their servers.
thanks for the correction, I use wire through tor, and the thing about wire that draw me to use it is the absence of need for a phone number, and the fact that unlike others the app just works with very few hickups.
From some time ago, even in the mobile phone, you have also the option to setup a new Wire account with an email address.
