Last year, I outlined the specific requirements that an app needs to have in order for me to consider it a Signal competitor.

Afterwards, I had several people ask me what I think of a Signal fork called Session. My answer then is the same thing I’ll say today:

    I weren’t even aware it was a Signal fork! What kept me away was their heavy integration of the Oxen crypto token (now apparently replaced with their own “Session token” instead). Anything that deep into web3 is a red flag to me, but the security flaws discussed in the above blog post look white hot.

      Oxen is the company behind Session, for anybody unfamiliar. They were a crypto company that made (well, cloned) a messaging app to promote this token.

      And Oxen itself was a clone of Monero.
