User:Maffblaster/Drafts/Secure communications

This article is counting "secure communications" to be those that are encrypted and can be entirely self-hosted. This eliminates 3rd party snooping into communication. What constitutes self-hosting? If the software in question relies on a server that is not fully controlled by the webmaster in order to operate, then the service is not truly self-hosted.

Other factors to consider: Anonymous accounts and end-to-end encryption (E2EE).

If the communications software is end-to-end encrypted, then all the better, but that is not a strong requirement to be secure in this context.
