From my comment in lemmy.ml in regards to security issues:

Many Signal alternatives also have security issues of their own, often making them less secure than Signal. This includes Matrix and XMPP. In the blog post regarding XMPP+OMEMO, the author replies to a question about which would be better than Signal, Matrix, and XMPP with this suggestion:

Anyone who cares about metadata resistance should look at Cwtch, Ricochet, or any other Tor-based solution. Not a mobile app. Not XMPP. Not Matrix.

In regards to Ricochet, not having a mobile app version makes it difficult to recommend to less tech savvy people.

I also thought of hexbean.net as an alternative, then out of curiosity, I looked up beanis.net, and it redirects to https://bluebear.ltd/

Is this some hexbearian’s site?

Maybe a new name entirely, like

zheleznogorsk.net

I do find hexbear clever, though, if you connect honeycombs and honey-loving bears together

Maybe honeybear with a different tld

I believe the domain will likely be taken back once the owner responds, though.

But hexagons are the best-agons 😞
