It stores all message data exclusively in volatile RAM, ensuring that no logs are retained and messages are automatically erased when the server is powered down or restarted. This ephemeral storage, combined with client-side quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption and default traffic routing over the Tor network, enhances user anonymity. Additionally, Amnesichat includes defenses against traffic analysis, operates efficiently on cheaper hardware, and supports group chats with pre-shared keys.

As a non developer, what advantages does this provide over Matrix?

Excellent! That would have been good information to add to the initial post

Added it

So, this is ‘Tor Matrix’ ?

Im planning to make it decentralized in future, for now it’s centralized to keep anti-forensic properties

I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. It seems like an interesting concept for certain use cases, and it looks like it’s just a tiny team.

HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works on 30 Jan 15:15 next collapse

From what I’ve heard it’s someone who really doesn’t know what they’re doing making it, and it has a ton of obvious security issues that the dev refuses to acknowledge. It really isn’t something that people should actually use.

Ah, gotcha. I didn’t go too deep into the code, just did a cursory look. I think it’s still an interesting concept.

They are saying this to degrade the reputation of Amnesichat, and I am not working on this project alone. They are not even specifying what kind of security issues exist.

If you actually want to help, come to our Matrix chatroom, and we can address those “issues”.

Probably because of the Circle A in the thumbnail

I’d rather not use something created by borderline terrorists

drkt@scribe.disroot.org on 31 Jan 03:40 next collapse

what?

lambalicious@lemmy.sdf.org on 04 Feb 23:03 collapse

Oh you mean, not using something like the internet?

Until it gets a security audit, I’ll stick with Signal.
