Looking back in time to the year 2020: “US bans WeChat, Chinese turn to Signal — decentralization is the answer” https://decrypt.co/38083/us-bans-wechat-chinese-turn-to-signal-but-isnt-decentralization-the-answer … although Signal and Telegram are highly praised for their privacy features, they could still be banned by governments. “Decentralized, open-source, and end-to-end encrypted,” he added. “You really need all three [with a messaging app].”
I have been wondering about this. Do we already have this decentralized, open-source and end-to-end encrypted messaging app? Is it Element? The upcoming Status app? What will be the game changer? It doesn’t need to be crypto, maybe even not if you’d like mass adoption. Who’s building? https://element.io/ https://status.app/
