    So what’s the opinion here between Signal and SimpleX?

    Signal gets all the attention, and seems more approachable but ties to a phone number which can be a big deal.

    SimpleX ties to nothing but I could absolutely see people I know fucking it up and wondering where their “account” went.

    So, Signal as an common man’s adoptable compromise and SimpleX to nerd out with full “opsec” and disposability? That about right?

      Signal has been under way more scrutiny than SimpleX. In both academic papers and security audits.

      I’m trying to use simplex, mainly for the instance’s chat. 2 things to say:

      • notifications work perfectly even without play store
      • every device has a separate account - I can’t reuse the same one. Not the end of the world, but it’s really annoying
