Unfortunately the Wickrme app is no longer available as of 31/12/2023.
Does anyone have any recommended alternatives?
Please note that this is a scam. Wiremin is known spyware. These scammers have infested Lemmy.
o7 be safe.
hmm no one said matrix. i rather like matrix. the whole key and passcode seems to confuse people but once its set up its nice and free… and you can host your own server if youre super paranoid.

Good eye. In another of op’s posts he asks a question for someone to then recommend WireMin. Up to no good https://lemmy.world/comment/6032047

Didn’t Amazon buy wikr a couple years ago anyways? That’s when I deleted it. Signal.
EDIT: as pointed out by LWD, op is likely just starting conversation to have another account recommend spyware, WireMin. Like he did in this thread’s comments: https://lemmy.world/comment/6346585 and I found on another post: https://lemmy.world/comment/6032047
Yes, they have been shit for years, with Amazon buying them, CBP using them in defiance of FOIA laws.

Use SimpleX Chat instead

Woa yea fuck that guy
Molly as hardened signal alternative
SimpleX gang here 🤔
SimpleX is a good replacement
I also am looking.
Fucking rip. I’d suggest signal but it’s not quite the same obvi. Uh, Session is also good.
Haven’t tried Session, though it seemed like a good service, until I found it lacks perfect forward secrecy, which IMO seems like a bad decision. I think Berty seems interesting too, but it seems like it might take a short while before it becomes a relevant option.
Also not a fan of Session missing FS. So I replaced it with SimpleX, but it’s quite a dead community. The app also feels like something beta, but I have high hopes for it

Hope it helps.

It’s too bad that it’s so fragmented nowadays.
Thanks!
For those who don’t want to click through Twtter’s link, here’re what the post recommends:
Session, Threema, Signal, BriarApp, SimpleXChat, WireMin.
