Session
A Signal protocol fork with decentralized servers and no need for a phone number
Session is a cross-platform, anonymous and decentralized messaging application. You don't need a phone number or email address to make an account.
Session uses the Loki Service Node network to route the data, for which the nodes are rewarded with $LOKI. The Loki Network itself is made up of some ~1000 community operated Service Nodes where 44% of the supply is held in the SNs - about US$7.5 million at the moment.
I love Signal, but I don't love the attached phone numbers or central servers, but I know there's a challenge in allowing an altruistic intention over a financial incentive for the node operators - Sybil resistance. By using Loki's Service Node network, the crypto-economics is designed in a way that a bad actor would drive the price exponentially up while trying to accumulate enough Loki to be able to perform any traffic analysis on the routed data.
Think of it as a Signal fork meets a Monero fork meets an incentivized TOR network.

Signal's TLS Proxy Failed to be Probing Resistant
Signal Post: https://signal.org/blog/help-iran-reconnect/
Their Repository: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy
Our Original Issue: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-TLS-Proxy/issues/3
⚠️ this can be very emotional, but truth works like that
So I've studied this with @studentmain and found it problematic about 4 hours ago.
We immediately reported this through a GitHub Issue, with PoC and advice attached, without even sleeping (it's about 4:00 am in local time)
But @moxie-signal (@moxie0) from @signalapp just closed our issue, saying this:

Help users in Iran reconnect to Signal
Just over a week ago, we announced that Iranian censors had started blocking all Signal traffic in the country. As an interim solution to help people in Iran get connected again, we’ve added support in Signal for a simple TLS proxy that is easy to set up…
