Signal is the sad compromise for the people I hold dearest because I refuse to use Messenger anymore and SMS is a joke with how glaringly unencrypted/de-facto wiretapped it is.

I’d love to get everyone on SimpleX but they already look at me like a wacko over Signal. The convenience tax is just non-negotiable for them and I have no idea how to bypass it.

    I used to be a big proponent of simplex even if I dont use it with anyone, but I was told that the main developer supports tr*mp and m*sk... If you go to their github, they only link twitter as their social media and if you check their account...

    https://github.com/epoberezkin (dunno if were allowed to share twitter links)

    Talks about "far-left radicals", says that nazis were socialist etc. etc. .... Really yikes

    TBH I feel like so many project leaders are wackos that I don't even judge the products by those, just by things they do. I still have hope in Simplex, but there were a couple of red flags, such as content scanning proposals, including clientside. Sure, it can probably be relatively easily forked to remove that specific thing, or you can choose the servers that don't do that, but it's still alarming that they try.
