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

    I think Signal dropped the phone number requirement, didn’t they?

      As far as I know you still need a phone number to create an account. But for connecting you can use the new usernames (and make sure to disable automatic number sharing with contacts in the settings).

      Now you’re able to hide your number at different levels, but it still requires you to use a phone number to sign up and use.
