Session chat app

Does anyone use the Session app?

I’ve used Telegram, Signal, Wire, etc. Never heard of Session before today. Anyone know where they’re based?
Edit: Australia

Thank you, Spambot, for reminding me to post here.

It appears that Session has made some security concessions, which is bizarre.
I’m sticking with other apps.

I'm partial to Signal.

yeah, Signal is what I use the most because after Apple’s native app, it’s what I can get real life friends to use. And it’s not owned by Facebook.
I also have Threema but I only use it with one person.

Signal ftw!

Haven’t even heard of Session

It’s a fork of Signal, and they promoted the fact that you don’t need a phone number to sign up. Same deal with the Wire app, which I think I learned about through a former member here (now banned). With Session, you don’t need an email address either, but extra privacy is not worth it, obviously, if there are security holes.

Ah. Thanks for the info.
