Briar is a messaging app designed to be used by groups of people to allow for secure and censorship resistant communications.

This technically isn’t self hosted in the strictest sense but I think it is still relevant.

        Could you link me some resources for that? I may need something to demonstrate that to others.

            Lack of audit is not great I agree. I can see from a basic web search that security is an issue but I’m not sure ‘nightmare’ is warranted. The lack of audit seems to be main focus of concern and I’d say thats a judgement call for each person depending on threat model. I was hoping for something more conclusive than that. Its certainly adequate for a more privacy-centric way of communicating than an app that doesn’t cater for Apple users at all.

              I’m never going to recommend something that I can’t get to work reliability. Also the lack of a security audit is a major deal breaker.

              Communications is one of those things that needs to be absolutely solid.
