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.
Sorry, not you. I just figured there were better times and places for me to rant about Matrix, which is a legitimate ecosystem
Missed your post before the edit. But I’d like to read your rant on Matrix. Even if it’s just a TL;DR.
I actually saved it lol. Matrix rant follows:
you can host your own server if youre super paranoid.
Trouble is, if you're paranoid to the point of not wanting your data to traverse other people's servers, then you need other people to sign up on yours.
In other words, if two people have the same mindset, neither of them will ever talk to the other, as Matrix governance rules say that all foreign servers have total right to ownership and control of your data once they access it. It's a little screwed up, honestly, as there is a huge gulf between "once you send your data somewhere, it might not disappear" and "we must preserve your data, as it belongs to us now, you don't have any rights to it"
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 saw this post earlier today: https://twitter.com/AL_Capone_MMA/status/1741684366084874643
Hope it helps.
