Wickr alternatives

Unfortunately the Wickrme app is no longer available as of 31/12/2023.

Does anyone have any recommended alternatives?

Please note that this is a scam. Wiremin is known spyware. These scammers have infested Lemmy.

o7 be safe.
hmm no one said matrix. i rather like matrix. the whole key and passcode seems to confuse people but once its set up its nice and free... and you can host your own server if youre super paranoid.
SimpleX gang here 🤔
SimpleX is a good replacement
Fucking rip. I'd suggest signal but it's not quite the same obvi. Uh, Session is also good.
- Haven't tried Session, though it seemed like a good service, until I found it lacks perfect forward secrecy, which IMO seems like a bad decision. I think Berty seems interesting too, but it seems like it might take a short while before it becomes a relevant option.
  
  Also not a fan of Session missing FS. So I replaced it with SimpleX, but it's quite a dead community. The app also feels like something beta, but I have high hopes for it
I also am looking.

I saw this post earlier today: https://twitter.com/AL_Capone_MMA/status/1741684366084874643

Hope it helps.
- Thanks!
  
  For those who don't want to click through Twtter's link, here're what the post recommends:
  
  Session, Threema, Signal, BriarApp, SimpleXChat, WireMin.
- It's too bad that it's so fragmented nowadays.
