A New Kind of Instant Messaging
tox.chatWhether it's corporations or governments, there's just too much digital spying going on today. Tox is an easy to use application that connects you with friends and family without anyone else listening in. While other big-name services require you to pay for features, Tox is totally free and comes without advertising — forever.
I’ve seen a lot of talk about privacy minded chat clients on here but a search did not bring up Tox. I have been delving into the Gemini protocol ( https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) and a few folks there have listed Tox for contact. Anyone have thoughts on this?
It’s encrypted, peer to peer, FOSS, and requires no signup.

Maintainer stole money from the project ever since then it died with it + no audit. Main reason why I unlisted it from my privacy project.
Lots of baseless clams and whatnot, more hype around it which is not worth it. I would use it but not under the incompetent management.
So besides the management you’re saying the software itself could be viable?
Sure, as said I would use it myself instead of Matrix. The project always had potential and was underestimated since day one. People donated in the hope to improve the known issues + get an audit, sadly that day never came and after the shit-show that happened people lost trust.
