I’ve seen a lot of talk about privacy minded chat clients on here but a search did not bring up Tox. I have been delving into the Gemini protocol ( https://gemini.circumlunar.space/) and a few folks there have listed Tox for contact. Anyone have thoughts on this?

It’s encrypted, peer to peer, FOSS, and requires no signup.

    By “doesn’t support multi-device” you mean it doesn’t have syncing between devices?

    That’s kind of a big deal for me.

      Yeah, I mean that. The design of the protocol makes it basically impossible to implement. This is one of the core drawbacks of peer to peer compared to federation.

        right yeah I figured as much. I don’t know if there really is a way to do multi device with p2p.
