It stores all message data exclusively in volatile RAM, ensuring that no logs are retained and messages are automatically erased when the server is powered down or restarted. This ephemeral storage, combined with client-side quantum-resistant end-to-end encryption and default traffic routing over the Tor network, enhances user anonymity. Additionally, Amnesichat includes defenses against traffic analysis, operates efficiently on cheaper hardware, and supports group chats with pre-shared keys.

    I don’t know why this is getting downvoted. It seems like an interesting concept for certain use cases, and it looks like it’s just a tiny team.

      From what I’ve heard it’s someone who really doesn’t know what they’re doing making it, and it has a ton of obvious security issues that the dev refuses to acknowledge. It really isn’t something that people should actually use.

        They are saying this to degrade the reputation of Amnesichat, and I am not working on this project alone. They are not even specifying what kind of security issues exist.

        Ah, gotcha. I didn’t go too deep into the code, just did a cursory look. I think it’s still an interesting concept.

    As a non developer, what advantages does this provide over Matrix?

      Im planning to make it decentralized in future, for now it’s centralized to keep anti-forensic properties
