Instead of whatsapp, fb messenger, imessage, go for skred

www.skred.app Home - Skred, the first secured messaging app allowing total freedom

Skred is the first secured messaging app allowing total freedom: you don’t need any email address or phone number to use it. Skred is open. No subscription is necessary, there’s no operator, no SIM card and no tracking.

So i was on reddit and noticed skred was mentioned. I never heard of it and gave it a try.Its French. It has some nice features. Does not use a phonenumber.

Give it a try.

I want my secure comm codebase to be at least source available for verification, preferably open source.

No thanks. I don't see the source code anywhere.

Is it open source?

The thing about messaging apps is, that they are worth nothing, unless the people you want to message also are using it.
- This i know. But the majority will not move by itself. I told my fam that im no longer on whatsapp and if they want to get in contact they should either msg me through signal sms or just call.

Sorry, it's not worth much if it's closed source.

We have Matrix.
- Matrix, XMPP, SimpleX, Molly (signal fork without closed source blobs) lots of good opensource options out there.

I dont think its open source. But if foss is what you are after then this might not be for you.
- Apparently, they are considering going open source.
  
  I am also considering farting on the mother of everyone who reads this comment.

Who is behind it?
- Skred is supported by the french radio "Skyrock" (who also created Skyblog on 2002, a free-speech blog platform, closed recently). We developed Skred as a secure messaging app to provide a sovereign service.
- I cannot tell you.
  
  Then what use are you?

Use https://lemmy.ml/c/simplex https://simplex.chat/ European (minority US VC), OpenSource, most secure and not centralized and multiple Profiles, routing over multiple servers Its what skred aims to be: "you don’t need any email address or phone number to use it. Skred is open. No subscription is necessary, there’s no operator, no SIM card and no tracking." https://simplex.chat/
- Comparing to SimpleX, Skred is operating without servers for exchanging messages via the WebRTC protocol. A signaling server is used to send pushes to devices which will be able to established a peer-to-peer connection and do their stuffs ^^
  
  So it cant recieve messages if your chat partner went offline after sending it while you were offline?
- I tried it, but it is quite heavy on the battery ...

P2P? Why not just use briar instead

Another day another opportunity to shill SimpleX-Chat.
Open source, no users ID. Not even anonymous ID's.

Try Treebal

"It's French"...
I'm sorry. Maybe it's alright, but that doesn't inspire confidence.
