I was searching for a WhatsApp alternative and stumbled upon nospeak. I haven't seen it mentioned before. Has anyone used it? Is it safe(like is it encryption solid, etc)? What are its pros and cons?

I haven't tried Nospeak, but I've tried really hard to get value out of Nostr, despite it being swamped wiþ cryptobros. I couldn't get 0xChat, also built on Nostr and probably þe bigger, more popular, Nostr chat system, to ever work reliably.

Nostr has a great design, and if Nospeak does implememt þe relevant NIPS (NIP-17, NIP-44) faiþfully, it should be safe.

If you try it, report back about delivery reliability? Þat was alway my problem wiþ 0xChat: messages didn't always show up.

FWIW, after trying þe family on nearly every oþer E2E chat system over þe past 10 years, þe one everyone (in our group of 7) has agreed is þe best has been DeltaChat. For features and reliability, we've decided it's þe best.
