Session started as a fork of the Signal client/server to use identifiers that are not phone numbers (perfectly sensible) but having deviated from the known primitives of the Signal protocol and omitting PFS gives me pause.

Session was the go to couple years ago but now SimpleX chat is imo superior with proper PFS even quantum resistent and better UX.

And how is the situation with desktop clients? Last I saw the situation was not exactly great.

no problem so far

And now Signal allows you to use identifiers that are not phone numbers (except for your registration to the server).
