session has just made an announcement on their website & their messenger that they will be shutting down. Session is shutting down because the Session Technology Foundation has failed to secure the approximately $1 million in annual funding required to retain paid developers and maintain operations. read here https://getsession.org/donate
why do they need devs? just vibe code
Good
>>108769110RIP. Time to move on.https://simplex.chat/
>>108769110by "most markets" they mean US, there are no salaries like 150k a year in most of the world, why americucks are so delusional
>>108769110a million dollars a year, that's almost 3 grand a day, $115 an hour. Where does it go? Does it need a hundred dollars of bug fixes 24/7?
>>108769110>another messaging app no one uses is shutting downlol just use apple/google messages like everyone else
>>108769480that just about covers the cost of employing three workers. i'm not really familiar with session but in general three people doesn't sound unreasonable for operating a service.
>>108769480They need to run servers for their shit since it's not decentralized.
>>108769110What is the purpose of Session? AI has completely replaced all messenger apps for me.
oh no! anyway, what's session?
>>108769110Trust Sessions
>>108769110It cannot complete with SimpleX.
They should have made it paid from the start lol, giving retards (like /g/) free shit never works as a business model. That's why nobody gaf about your "privacy", it's worthless and doesn't pay the bills
>>108769110I'm sure all 12 of their users are heartbroken.
>>108769110Even after Vitalik Buterin's huge 128 ETH donation, they still couldn't redesign their system to be more economically viable. Way too expensive from the start. It's not sustainable.
>>108769110Why did they build it upon the Oxen blockchain and then later switch to "Session Token"?The whole thing seemed like a crypto grift to me.
>>108769112Chat apps need humans to stop pedos from shitting up their services.Claudeslop won't help.
>what if we took Signal and made it even worse with our faggy crypto from the startAm I supposed to care?Signal running costs are about 30c per user per year btw.
I'm happy that this shit is shutting down. They took signal and removed perfect forward secrecy. It's just a fucking honeypot for pedo scum. If you want something that normies can use choose signal and if you want something decentralized use simplex.
>>108769110>claims to be decentralized>actually isn'tpress S to spit
>>108771518>removed perfect forward secrecy.The fork is from before PFS was implemented
>>108770727pedos were the only one that used session
>>108769110Wasn't one of the devs an open chud? RIP BOZO I guess.
Usecase for anything besides Signal and XMPP?
>>108769110They're basically guaranteed to never get a donation again now, a post like this creates a 'run on the bank'. Same thing happened silicon valley bank a few years back. If you donate now your betting the other million will also be donated else your donation would go the EFF.
>>108769885this glowie shit was never made for /g/. people like you use it because you don't belong here
>>108769110Already have Briar, no thanks
( ._.)
