irssi has otr support built in in newer versions.
federated.
prosody xmpp server software. ftw.
p2p. text. lots of other things thrown in. haven't looked in a while.
tox. p2p. text/video/audio
private (stuff only viewable (ignoring the
) by people who I explicitly choose to be able to view it)
one to many (so I don't have to resend an encrypted message to each person I want to see it)
capable of doing text/pictures/audio/video
has to run on both android (preferably installable through F-Droid) and desktop (linux AND windows preferably)
one-to-many
no audio/video.
p2p, encrypted, capable of text/picture/audio/video.
The android app for it
can't do group-chat which would be used for the one-to-many requirement.
edit: it /can/ do group-chat. don't remember why I put this here.
maybe it was that it couldn't do group voice-chat? can it?
federated, encrypted if using PGP, any file can be sent over email.
one-to-many doesn't work very well. no audio or video.
p2p, encrypted, capable of text/pictures/audio/video
the android app tries to share user keys as retroshare:// URLs which, when pasted into the desktop program, are considered invalid.
android app doesn't have an "add contact" button on the "contacts" view selectable from the main hamburger menu...
there's a "paste link" (wat?) option. what type of links? retroshare:// links?
didn't find an option to export my ID as a URL/link from the desktop version of retroshare.
xmpp so federated, end to end encryption (OMEMO), capable of text/pictures/audio/video
I've never goten aTalk to voice and video chat with anything other than another aTalk.
IM, VoIP, multiplatform (android, ios, windows, mac OS, GNU+linux), e2e encryption.
"Telegram accounts are tied to telephone numbers and are verified by SMS."
I could use something like textnow to make an account anyway, but even after that
I don't want vendor-locked-in chat.
IM, e2e encryption
pretty much the same shit as telegram
no video, but works good for the audio part of the requiement. phone and desktop software (linux /and/ windows) works well together.
I am using mumble. I might have to rething the requiement that what I'm looking for needs to do all of the things I need at once.
does text, does audio, no video
discord says in their privacy policy they're collecting everything and they can do whatever they want with it.
does text
I am, but it is a big pile of chat over HTTP, and the only client I was able to get working was
video/audio, text, "encrypted"
I can't run my own server and I don't want to trust some random company.
I'll have to think of more things and put them here.
