Just a post to say the goods of using SimpleX instead of others “private” messenger. First it doesn’t not require any id, phone number, etc… Can create how many accounts that you want! Decentralized servers, everyone can run and use own servers, and communicate with others! Big privacy side! Look at this one of the best https://privacyspreadsheet.com/messaging-apps. The only negative is the usability of the app, this is why it needs support and be democratize to gain attraits to people, and maybe one day be one the most used messenger app…
How can i start? I mean its not like i have any friends on simpleX so whats the point? Does it have public groups that one can search for?
From SimpleX creator, it doesn’t scale well with groups >50 ppl, so it is not going to be your Telegram/Facebook/social media replacement.
Well Matrix exists so you can always fire up a Matrix server
I think you meant xmpp
No, I meant Matrix. I don’t know anyone who uses XMPP. There are a lot of people on Matrix.

Did you use the Element front end and then clear web storage? Also the unable to encrypt only applies to encrypted group chats which aren’t the default
Yes, and yes.
Simplex is pretty nice, but to me XMPP already does all that you described, and metadata isn’t that important to me. Plus XMPP has better clients for mobile and desktop
For 1:1 and small groups, XMPP is not as convenient + not as secure
but why isnt it secure? if you know that the other person is using the same version of omemo it is secure. and if you are self-hosting it, meta-data is no issue either
