Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video)
DeltaTangoLima@reddrefuge.com 1 year agoYeah, I get it, but there’s just no way at all to ensure 100% total anonymity like you’re talking about, while also using a 3rd party carriage service of some sort (eg. mobile network; internet, etc).
We should go back to carrier pigeons with encrypted notes. That way, the sender and recipient “metadata” is only known to themselves (and the pigeons).

That’s why I’m using SimpleX Chat, there is no network-wide identity so no data can be collected. It’s a very clever architecture, actually exactly the carrier pidgeon scenario you describe, but in digital form. I’ve found my solution. simplex.chat

Reading the SimpleX overview, it seems the only way the carrier pigeon analogy is truly satisfied with is with a private server, correct?

Not necessarily. You can use any server/pidgeon to send your message while your contact uses a different server to send. Also you can at any time change which servers you use and it is planned that the servers get rotated automatically in the future. There is no point in time where one pidgeon is responsible for multiple connections, you are using a bunch of pidgeons and swap them out all the time.
