The privacy-focused messaging app arose from a fringe culture that emphasized individual autonomy and skepticism of authority. As it tries to go mainstream, can it escape its roots?
If you don’t want to use Signal, use a forked version of it - Session (doesn’t require a phone number, only has a code number as id) or SimpleX Chat (not even a code number, completely private)
I guess you should know who you want to talk to, then have some other medium of contacting them, and then when you decide to move your conversations into a secure medium you meet or video call and pass the simplex key? That sounds about right. I suppose with the levels of privacy it espouses, there really can’t be a form of “online communities” because people wouldn’t want to reveal anything about them without already knowing the person they are revealing details to, and vice versa.

How does simplex users then connect with each other?
