I’d like you to discuss this topic on an upcoming MoneroTalk.

I’d also appreciate some instruction on how I might join in the live chat so that I could join in on the episode where something like Bastyon is discussed.

    Session stores messages on a blockchain, and I have no idea why this would be a good idea.

    At least they introduced a mechanism to autodelete messages now, so the biggest threat is somewhat gone

      After some additional education on the broad topic of decentralized communications tools, I’ve learned of Matrix/Element and Session Messenger, which seem to accomplish alot of the privacy and anonymity goals without the use of blockchain, yet it is decentralized, so they also will survive a widespread DNS blocking, also referred to as the Internet Kill Switch.

        Session uses a blockchain afaik, but everything on there has a deletion date to autodelete.

        Matrix is not privacy optimized at all, its good for discussions etc but you are not anonymous at all.

        Try SimpleX, it has the best design
