@rysiek @simplex The #SimpleX brand account also promotes right wing slop, retweets posts from right wing accounts, and "love[s] Twitter and the role it plays in the world."
It's not at all disconnected from the project itself. This defending of right wing bullshit under the guise of "defending free speech" appears to be inherent to SimpleX's philosophy. Of course, people will screech about "keep politicks out oaf mah softwayre!!"
Evgeny also retweets Lunduke lol.
#Android (late late late) #SpringCleaning:
Uninstalled:
@luana @java @b #simplex is #FLOSS quantum-resistant #e2ee decentralised (relay network), reportedly easy self-hosting, hosts rooms with thousands of users or just a few, member permissions, custom room permissions and unique to simplex: no user ids, each dm or group it basically creates a new cryptographic id
I'm not sure that I'd really trust #SimpleX because it describes itself as a startup with stock options for employees. I'd prefer projects which are public, non-profit, and don't deal in stocks. That helps to rule out any dubious enshitified agendas which can result in tears later on.
@uhuru
#DeltaChat has no forward secrecy.
And depended on SHA-1 and using MD5.
Both are considered weak cryptography if I'm not mistaken.
While I believe deltachat to be a great app with good use case, it's not what I'm looking for.
#xmpp ecosystem is?/was! pretty bad in serving proper e2ee cross platform implementation.
Till recently there was only conversations as a usable app. Since some weeks ago it seems that @dino now also offers e2ee by default. But also both conversations and Dino using an outdated omemo specification, and are by that not compatible with @kaidan.
I will reconsider xmpp when they adapt the newer specification.
@briar not mentioned, but also no, cause it's not working on #TailsOS or on android with Orbot.
So very much unusable, since it's not running on the platforms we use.
#simplex, no, I don't like nor trust the dev.
#cwtch, yes, maybe
@kuketzblog
Fast niemand verifiziert die Fingerprints. Signal kann einfach MiTM machen bei initialem Kontakt.
Sie hätten ja auch den Fingerprint im den Nutzernamen /QR Code packen können, wie #SimpleX - haben sie aber nicht.
For giggles, I'm periodically calling on 146.52 from the mobile while my kiddo has lessons, if anyone thinks they are within simplex range of Lititz PA
Times like these are the only ones where I miss having HF in the car. (I'm not in the car much anymore so it's hardly worth the effort to get it all set up for HF)
Some of you may have heart of #simplex which likes to elevate itself as "the first messenger without user-ids" ... a goal, similar to ours, of not letting the transport layer know about who talks. Only we are doing it in the email system, fully interoperable with tens of thousands of existing email servers and other #openpgp endpoints. The email system is much more than SMTP/IMAP or even openpgp btw ... there is plenty of room for radical shifts and new takes. We are just starting :)

Sabato 5 aprile parlerò ad una riunione didattica con il #NaLUG riguardo le piattaforme di #chat libere e #opensource, decentralizzate e private. Maggiori informazioni qui sulla riunione e su dove si terrà: https://www.nalug.tech/nalugunina-sabato-5-aprile-2025/.
@ip6li @heiseonline @briar #Signal zeigt doch Haltung, und würde das böse Spiel nicht mitspielen. Kann man also auch empfehlen. Besser als diverse Tech Konzerne, die Trump & Co nachlaufen. #unplugtrump #unplugtrump03 #messenger #threema #simplex
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live:
- Client 1.22.0 is now suggested for all
- #Element fixes a #CVE
- #SessionMessenger enables Groups v2
- #SimpleX improves group management
- 10 new apps
- 110 updates
all right here https://f-droid.org/2025/03/20/twif.html
I got nothing for Signal. I used my brother's phone number but the 6 digit verification number just doesn't come.. He doesn't even know what Signal app is, so I doubt he used his phone number to sign up.
Guess this isn't the day to meddle with Signal. "No Signal" I guess :(
I'mma stick with SimpleX chat. This and the email. I dunno about Matrix+Element though
I now have SimpleX Chat, lol. Idk I was bored so I set one up!
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)
@scy They're all pretty bad. Threema has some major issues with their encryption protocol: https://infosec.exchange/@Fiona@blahaj.zone/114083506772906117
Delta Chat outright lacks forward secrecy, and also doesn't use post-quantum cryptography.
XMPP and IRC are a mess, and essentially unusable for less technical users.
When considering or recommending a messenger, always ask yourself: Would your grandma be able to use it? If she encountered some issue, would she be able to find someone, other than you, who could fix it? That unfortunately rules out a bunch of messengers.
I think best option is to use the @mollyim client for Signal. The second best choice would be @simplex
If you want to find an #anonymous bnb (abnb):
1. Write a messages of your preferances to our #simpleX team
- we write you back with a recommendation
2. If you like it, you get the #home owners simpleX adress
3. You have rented a #bnb fully #anon
@feralthoughts @sarahjamielewis @dazo @ambiguous_yelp @light
> you say that #Tor relays should be required to sign agreements “prohibiting data collection and sharing”. Does this apply to #SimpleX relays?
Yes. It's in Privacy policy.
> 1-4.
Those that are preset operators (SimpleX Chat and Flux) - yes. We don't have a mechanism for the conditions for custom operators - it's coming.
