If you're going to bash the competition, at least be honest about it. @simplex

I can't speak to the other points here, but Session does have message padding, though only for attachments up to 10 MB. This is highlighted in section 6.2 of their whitepaper, which is linked on the first page of their website; they also mentioned it in multiple interviews. So they deserve a yellow check mark.

This is achieved by first padding each attachment to fit within a fixed number of constant sizes between 0 and 10 megabytes, then encrypting the attachment with a random symmetric AES key.

It should be a no-brainer to read the whitepaper of the competition before making any claims about them.

I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Se suponía que Session iba encaminada a una actualización muy apetecible. En 90 días la historia probablemente sea muy distinta y puede que incluso el servicio de mensajería instantánea y cifrada desaparezca.

Session the messenger might shut down soon:

To date, the STF has received approximately $65,000 in donations. This is enough to maintain critical Session infrastructure for the next 90 days. We are extremely grateful for the support Session has received from the community, but unfortunately this is not sufficient to retain full-time developers. As a result, all paid staff and developers will have their final working day on April 9, 2026. After this date, some team members will continue on a primarily volunteer basis to help maintain Session until July 8, 2026.

https://getsession.org/donate

This is not a call to action; but I want people to see it, to decide themselve, if and what to do.
