Hi, I wanna know what is the most secure and best messaging app/platform… Need an app that is crossplatform and has a very good numbers of features and security. (And it has to be FLOSS) I thought about XMPP clients, Signal, Session, IRC clients… Propose and explain me your choice

    They asked what the most secure one is, not the most practical. When I said other people wouldn’t communicate with you, I meant because it is very difficult to set up, so I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone. But unless your client and server come from different parties, you’re putting all your trust into one other party (like with Signal), so that’s inherently less secure.
