       I've been trying out #Briar messenger, in the last few days. It's a very impressive software. Love the concept!But it's kinda lonely 😅, can't find many people using it.If anyone is using Briar, lets add each other and test it out!This is my contact IDbriar://abk5uqi2r35w6ghiec634ioor5j6ab4exqkb7xqnqwld3pan5elxk#security #privacy #FOSS #messenger

       @mesh4545 can you compare it to Matrix? In what situation you would choose Briar over Matrix?

       @cos Both apps have completely different goals and use cases...#Matrix is meant more for convenience and mass adoption. It doesn't have good metadata protection.In my opinion, #Briar is the ultimate in security and anonymity (while sacrificing convenience). If your life depends on it, use Briar.

       @mesh4545 @cos In some cases Briar seems too paranoid and I didn't find a way to tailor it to my needs. For example the requirement to log in every time I turn the screen back on means no notifications about new messages when the phone is in my pocket. A trade off not worth much in my threat model.

       @Makdaam @mesh4545 @cos this should be fixed. You should remain logged in, until you or your android settings define different. In >settings you can also turn on/off the App lock, which is an additional setting and lets you continue to run Briar in the background, also when it's locked. If you give it another try, feel invited to send us feedback.
