What does fedi think about simpleX chat?
#privacy #foss #simplex #simplexchat
so is this #simplex a thing or not?
Anyway i think it needs privately hosted servers to be a real alternative to centralized services like Signal.
For the fun of it i set up a SMP & XFTP server - hosted in Germany. No Onion adresses at the moment, may follow later.
VPS is contracted for 1 year, so the servers will stay around atleast until April '26 (maybe even longer).
SMP: smp://rTQAEQ_imEoNOkRqOIFBeNfZCSk3OSg39DTAuNn4voM=:qvDriJcHnDZe62I5qPqU@smp.clttr.info
XFTP: xftp://JqCuLmVngaqbdAcjhszOEl2oNL_TWIIj9HVNSIlJrj0=:GFAIcBb3TtDZ4vE0IanS@xftp.clttr.info:4433
AdminForge has SMP servers as well: https://simplex.adminforge.de/

Por aquí les dejo mi dirección SimpleX Chat, para darle movimiento a este tan buen mensajero. Que se une a otro que vengo probando.
Por si no lo conoces @simplex protege la privacidad de tu perfil, contactos y metadatos, ocultándolos de los servidores de la plataforma SimpleX y de cualquier observador. No tiene identificadores así que el resto puedes revisar https://simplex.chat/es/

To anyone interested in hitting me up, spam, negative shit or just normal conversations, here's my address (note I won't be online all the time. I'm dealing with something serious right now)

I have nothing against supporting projects enhancing pivacy.. But I've stopped donating to Signal myself after they seemed to not care about feedback from their users.
On one side, they seemed to try to make Signal become more like a lookalike to iMessage, removing useful features like different background colours in group chats. At some point they even had the same colour on the chat names being the same colour. And when colours on the chat names arrived it was mentioned as a group chat improvement. Yes, it was an improvement - but it's still way far behind what it used to be. The reason for removing the individual coloured background? It made the code simpler (while colours on the chat names seemed to not be a coding problem).
Then they removed SMS support on Android ... which resulted in all my non-privacy/non-tech contacts starting to send me SMSes instead of using Signal. Which means now I have two apps for handling messaging and my non-tech users are confused and just use SMS by default. The reason? SMS is insecure! Yes, it is - but opportunistic encryption will always help non-tech users. For all my non-tech contacts, this move ended up far worse in the real world.
Since I now have to use more apps anyhow, My closest contacts and I have moved over to @simplex instead. It's a very different architecture which is more redundant to Signal, with far better privacy coverage. And I barely use Signal these days.
And don't even get me started on the mobile payment with their own cryptocurrency implementation in a chat app.
I know #SimplexChat will most likely end up as a paid service in the future. But the developers there at least seems to want to listen to their users and interact with them. And when something is not going to happen or taking long time to happen, there are much more solid and real technical arguments to why. That makes it far more easy to contribute financially to SimplexChat.
But YMMV. We have all different experiences and needs.
The only thing which is for sure - #E2EE messaging will become a must in future. And politicians will struggle to accept that their policies won't work to control encrypted messages.
And we need to have apps helping users to use the right approach with as little knowledge about #E2EE as possible. It need to be as few apps as possible, and it need to do opportunistic encryption as much as possible. Upgrade automatically from unencrypted to encrypted communication.
Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing #Telegram for #Encrypted App #SimpleX #Chat
Neo-Nazis are joining #SimpleXChat , a relatively unknown app that received funding from #JackDorsey and promises users there is no way for it or law enforcement to track their identity.

People STOP using #Telegram!!!!
Alternatives:
(Matrix is more like what Telegram is supposed to be but decentralized)https://matrix.org/
(I feel Session Messenger is one of the top 2, read about it)https://getsession.org/
(SimpleX Chat is decentralized, end-to-end encrypted & can easily hook into Tor)https://simplex.chat/
(Briar Project is cool for many reasons & Tor is baked in but it still needs a lot of work)https://briarproject.org/
