What's the closest thing we have to a perfect private messanger?

In my mind the perfect private messanger is both completely secure, and also completely anonymous.

All the mainstream messengers can pretty much ensure the contents of the message will not be revealed....but that is not good enough. I want to be able to deploy and establish a completely anonymous AND private channel of communication on a dime without having to jump through extreme operational security hoops.

Does it really exist?

Look everyone I know smokes weed it's really bad. More like a turn your brain on situation. You know how bad that is for your sleep architecture™ over a period of 4-5 years? It's a wonder they can even remember what I said, but telling them to do something at a certain time? I'd be uncloseted as an authoritarian. The only way I even get people to use these apps is Appeal to Paranoia.

    I rip through an ounce of dabs a month and can run a homelab and write software that way, I have no problem holding a 9-5. Your friends are just irresponsible, or more likely, just don't give a fuck like 99% of people.

    Me and my friends are all stoners, we use simplex fine. Not sure what your deal is.

    Either way why do they need to do something at a certain time?

    YOU CAN MESSAGE OFFLINE USERS ON SIMPLEX THEY WILL GET THE MESSAGE LATER, IF THEYRE ONLINE NOW THEY WILL GET A NOTIFICATION. IF THIS ISNT WORKING YOUR NOTIFICATION SETTINGS ARE FUCKED.

    I'm sorry you and your friends can't figure out how to use literally the first open source privacy a respecting messenger that I actually think I could hand to my grandmother...

    i breathe more hash oil than air

    Fucking act like it then and calm down, I was just saying to the other guy, the issue is having to be online in order to connect contacts. That is a serious issue outside of people you're already tight with, think abt how flaky people are even in important situations.

    Besides, what makes XMPP perfect to me is that the ecosystem is mature, it will be around forever, it has a service I can use to access Canadian and US cell networks while abroad. It has an encrypted facebook style social media site in rapid development that any XMPP acct can login to so they don't need to make a new account, that by design NEVER HAS THOSE ASSHOLES ON IT

    Hopefully Webxdc on XMPP takes off more it's currently only on Cheogram Android app and Delta Chat droid/pc. You can make collaborative editors and games n stuff if I guess you want encrypted tuxcart (someday)
