As most people here might know, Session utilises a TOR-like onion routing system with some changes to route traffic. The username is the public key whilst the password is the private key.

Recently, a new project built on top of this seems to be in the works: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/freespeech/

I'd like to know the community's opinion of session and how much would you trust its technology. Thanks!

For sending data I recommend wormhole or localsend, makes way more sense

Sorry, I meant text

Localsend can also do text!

An alternative that I use is QR codes

Android:

some F-Droid Apps (over Obtainium of course ;D)
now I just use Mull + the offline QR code generator Addon. I have all in my custom Addon collection

Linux:

Decoder with the fix mentioned on the Link. That at least deals with autodeletion of history, but the text still has no password function. (Basically I use the awesomeness of Flatpak app storage and always delete it after the process is finished, works flawlessly and can be used with every app)
