Post #1 tannakedTextile

Wickr me is not taking any new users as of December 31, 2022.

We'll need to find another encrypted service soon.

If anyone knows of one let us know, thanks

I read somewhere that it's a false rumor, so not sure what to think

Unfortunately, it's true. Wickr is not signing up new users from January 1st and will be shut down December 31. There are couple of pretty good alternatives though: Wire, Telegram, Signal or Session.

I have had good luck with Telegram and in a search, they say it is one of the most secure ( as much as any site can be) chat sites, Only bad thing is you need to put your phone number in, You may be able to make one up, I don't know, That is what I us.

You have been misinformed about telegram and its security. telegram msgs are in fact cleartext msgs, not encrypted, esp group msgs. all cleartext like sending a postcard. telegram gives the illusion thats it secure. it is in fact not the case. also, if you use telgram from desktop, again zero protection. ypou want private secure msgr, look at wire, signal, session, simplex chat, jami, or cheogram (xmpp) or conversations client (xmpp). check out https://www.securemessagingapps.com/
