I always wonder why no one ever mentions Session. Is there some defect in its tech, or is it just not a comparable product?

It's an uphill battle. I asked to recommend Session on the privacy subreddit- which the moderators denied because Session lacks a well-documented endorsement from a public figure regarded as an authority with regard to privacy.

That is a non-starter specifically in the context of vetting privacy-enabling software. Anyone got a list of privacy celebrities with enough spare time to vet reddit content?

It really comes down to that? Wow.

Thanks for answering though, it really bugged me, and I couldn't find anything on it.

If you ever have nothing better to do, view the revision history on the wikipedia entry for Session Private messenger and witness the petty roadblocks thrown up as objections to allowing it to have an entry.

I'll just say Session had to meet a lot of criteria merely to have a wikipedia entry that Signal's entry did not meet at the time.

To this day Session's hard-won wikipedia entry is saddled with a "limitations" entry best summarized as "Session is not Signal".
