Thanks for writing in. I like that Threema has non-government domain based names, however it’s completely centralized. They control and sell you the account. While Session is similar, but the user owns the name. Or SimpleX nobody owns it, it doesn’t have a single account

The Traffic of Session and SimpleX runs across 1000´s of relay. Do you really think thats more secure? They do NOT know hows behind all those relays. Can be hosted by AWS or Google and can easily collect all the metadata of their users. For example IP-Adresses. ONLY Threema does not collect any metadata or IP-Adresses. Look for your self: https://threema.ch/en/transparencyreport The centralization of Threema is a security feature. Session & SimpleX are (meta)data-spreader !

Huh? Session is onion routed with different nodes. It's not google/AWS, I've done lookups on many of the IPs, its a lot of the same providers as Tor. SimpleX lets you self-host, so its you running it. Threema’s legal transparency report is not a technology solution, it’s their promise. Why is having different nodes with onion routing, or self-hosting simplex, worse metadata leak than just Threema’s promise?

The more hands that handle a parcel, the greater the risk that it will break, fall or be stolen. The more Notes your messages are sent via, the greater the risk of someone making a copy and/or intercepting the metadata. Threema messages only make one stop, on their own server. This server does not store any IP address or metadata, and the message is deleted after successful delivery! More data protection is not possible in digital communication!

The purpose of Session's onion routing is to prevent a single actor from gaining knowledge. Or with SimpleX you can self-host the server. With Threema, you’re trusting a single entity with censorship/privacy. Aren’t you on Nostr to avoid centralization?

Session comes from the makers of "Loki" Coin - the most unsuccessful cryptocurrency in the world TOR and onion routing is not safe! Sessions traffic runs accross 4.000 nodes and does not know who¥s behind each node! Thats pretty unsecure!
