    Aren’t all (most?) those centralized services? What good is having the app if the service is unavailable? Tox, Jamie and Veilidchat are fully decentralized, not just federated, fully decentralized. They come with their own downsides though…

      Apologies, yes Threema and Molly are centralized since they depend on proprietary servers. SimpleX and Briar are FOSS and P2P over TOR

        Correction. Briar is true p2p, while Simplex relies on servers - but said servers can be hosted by anyone and interoperate.
