It's time to use session over Signal

Even more secure and private. Works with session keys instead of mobile numbers like Signal.

is it widely used? how long would it take to decrypt then

[โ€“] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What does that mean? You want to decrypt messages from Session and compare it to how much time it takes to decrypt messages on Signal?

I never got anyone to use Signal!

I would use session with people I meet on the internet. For my family, they are too entrenched in other chat services for me to be able to move. When I root my mobile I will put these apps in the workspace.
