I was sold on Matrix as a viable alternative to Discord but recently read this article which made it look not so good.
Matrix is okay but like anything else, it’s security is dependent on your server admins. Session has no server so that’s what I’d recommend if you have the option.
there is still servers it goes through to get to whoever your talking to and it doesnt have perfect forward security so that a no go for me
It goes through TOR “nodes” but it can be routed through any of 10k different ones. It doesn’t go through any Session servers and doesn’t need Session servers.
Perfect Forward Secrecy is not important and Session details clearly why it works this way..
Session has no server so that’s what I’d recommend if you have the option.
Closed rooms in session are limited to 100 people iirc. You can have Matrix rooms with any number of users.
