I don’t use it because it’s Android only, which greatly limits communications.
Berty.tech might become an alternative to some of Briar’s features.
Session/Status don’t need a central server either (decentralized and distributed).
The question I have is how much is something decentralized/distributed and how peer discovery works. Ideally everyone would be a client/server (like bittorrent and I2P).
Well it is me tooting the horn. I feel a balanced aproach is federation ( I hear “duh!”). A central node makes it convenient & fast yet for the sake of not giving power to one th3 nodes are to be distributed to serve there local/thematic community where the locals can also interact with other nodes and people there.
Few easy to implement (relatively) chats are matrix, xmpp, Delta chat + own email server.
