Migration recommendation: WireMin

I have been using it for a week and looked into their FAQ page for technology explanation. Here are some pros & cons:

Pros:

1/ 100% Anonymous:

  • No need for an email/phone number to create an ID.
  • Untraceable IP address.
  • End-to-End Encryption (E2EE) for Direct Messages (DMs), Chat rooms, and Blog posts on the Feed.

2/ 100% Censorship resistance:

  • Accounts never get suspended (at least that’s what they say in the FAQ).
  • Content/Messages can only be deleted by the user itself (chat space too, no one can ban you or remove your message).
  • E2EE, no one can decrypt your message, it’s only viewable by you and the recipients.
  • Decentralized, no one can access your content because data is only kept on your device.

Cons:

  • Not enough users, so the whole network is not stable enough due to its decentralized structure.
  • Notifications are only available for DMs, not for Chat space or - - Updates on the following Feed.
  • App crashes occur.
  • Lacks some small features like polls/GIFs.
  • Not open sourced but it is on the dapp store: https://www.alchemy.com/dapps/wiremin

Anyway, I think it could be a good alternative to Twitter/Facebook, due to their privacy issues and monopolistic behaviors. If you are a privacy-focused member, or if you run a sensitive topic community, I think it could be a good choice too.

The only thing I am concerned about is that they are not open source. As for the overall experience, I know they operate on a decentralized structure and personally, I do believe in the safety level of a decentralized network: 100% anonymous, 0 data leaks.

Here is a PrivacyMatters community, https://i.wiremin.com/invite/?g=k49693987788 mainly about TECH and DIGITAL PRIVACY discussion. If you download WireMin for privacy, this can be your first stop.___
