Hi, I wanna know what is the most secure and best messaging app/platform… Need an app that is crossplatform and has a very good numbers of features and security. (And it has to be FLOSS) I thought about XMPP clients, Signal, Session, IRC clients… Propose and explain me your choice

    We should be glad that WhatsApp with E2EE is what people jumped to, instead of Facebook Messenger

    WhatsApp is part of Facebook. You really think they operate differently?

      Facebook/Meta takes the metadata of WhatsApp, which I addressed in comment. The difference wrt encryption and how the platform works is far different compared to Facebook, because it was acquired originally and is meant for different target audiences.
