Most of Session's developers are Australian.

They moved their product to Switzerland because the Australian government started raiding them.

They seem to be a cool bunch but for some reason don't want to implement some wanted privacy features.

Ugh. I JUST started using it.

Well moving to Switzerland is a good move. But that doesn't mean the developers in Australia are completely safe from their government.

Them removing Perfect Forward Secrecy is detailed below. I don't really have an opinion on it, but many people say it's not a good choice.

I still have hope for the project, although I wish it got completely decoupled from the crypto aspect. They think that people won't support the network if there was no incentive, and that they themselves will not earn money from donations and other stuff. In reality the incentive makes it so you'd have to stake €700 (last time I checked on previous network) to add a node to the network, making it very hard to help out with cheap servers. And them having the crypto aspect does not make me want to donate.

The built-in onion network and anti KYC is pretty amazing. They also have offline message queues which many P2P projects lack.

My hopes are still up.

I like so much about it in concept but Oxen feels like a grift, like it's trying to be Onion Routing but by Crypto bros.

Maybe they'll reconsider and switch to a non crypto bro onion network. Or some people take it up and remove it.

And I read there are some issues with their crypto implementation
