Anyone else suddenly getting Reddit followers? I've yet to purge my account, and my account, which has no real activity, is suddenly getting an influx of followers. wth is going on over there? lol

For some reason, I thought it was interchangeable terminology, I'm glad to understand better now. I could see a lot of P2P's forgoing encryption then, since presumably you're not hopping over any other devices or networks.

Aaaah, got it, thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I apologize for my incorrect message then. From these comments, I'm inclined to say Matrix remains OP's best option.

Thank you for educating me! 😊

Ah, and P2P would have no middle man doing the hand-off?

I apologize, I was thinking End-to-End. Though would someone mind enlightening me to the difference? Is is just multi-client support? Or that there can be a broker in between?

Also, to everyone currently roasting me, here is what I was referencing

Matrix is great, Element has a really nice UI for it. ~~Signal also does work without a phone number, in fact it doesn't really work for SMS anymore. Signal provides P2P for any communications with another Signal user. Matrix supports P2P as long as you set it up (encrypt a channel) and I think DM's are P2P~~

Edit: So Matrix is cool, End to End, NOT P2P, and probably the right decision for OP.
