First time hearing about Briar. So it’s like Signal but can also be used via Bluetooth if close enough?
That, and also it’s decentralized and sends all messages through the tor network if Bluetooth isn’t available
Sort of. Briar can do private messaging. However, Briar also supports Blogs and Forms. The neat part is that it is totally decentralized with traffic going over Bluetooth, WiFi and Tor. It is designed to communication in situations where an advanced adversary is targeting a group. It can be used a protests and such.
The downside with Briar is that it requires that something is online always. You can setup a old phone as a mailbox but it is still inconvenient.
Post this to the Briar sub/lemmy/space, they need content :)
Briar is the coolest messaging technology I have ever seen. But very few people use it.
How is mastodon “not real”?
It was created aliens to achieve world dominance
heh heh heh. I still keep a copy of Briar on all my phones.
???
Wife and I love it when we have to talk about one of our kids. They don’t know what it is so that’s the best part.
What?
My wife and I can talk about our kids without having to worry about them finding the text msg as we use it as a backup msg app. We let our kids use our phones for games at times and well kids are kids and will go through shit they aren’t suppose to.
It’s a long way of saying “I’m a bot.”
Look at this guy over here. His bot detector is malfunctioning.
Skill issue. I get it.
They are not that bot

Just Tor
I2p has limitations and isn’t nearly as well proven as Tor. I still think it is pretty solid but Briar is designed to be used in very dangerous situations. I2p simply isn’t as reliable yet. In the future this could change. I have no hate against i2p but I personally wouldn’t use in a dangerous place like Hong Kong.
