well briar does not have calling on desktop (in stable yet at least), also jami can do video and screen share

that's good to know.

what most p2p chats lack is users.

Exactly. In order to attract more users to Jami, I really think the user interface should be improved.

session is not p2p.

you are right, Session is not purely peer-to-peer.

    I’ve never understood why a messaging app would require blockchain to function. Storing all text and images on the blockchain seems redundant—especially when end-to-end encryption is already in place. With E2EE, no one can modify your messages without access to your private key.

    It’s a shame they broke Perfect forward secrecy. To me, this is a very important feature to have in any E2EE system.
