It’s clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

        i don’t know in what world you’re living, but in this world where people think you’re (edit: we are) a pain in the ass for refusing to install WhatsApp when everyone is expected to use it for official communication (work + organizations); Signal is great.

        I’ve convinced a couple of dozens of people to use Signal, and only one to keep Simplex as, at least, a backup.

        as a caring-about-privacy minority we can invite “them” to Signal. “They” know Signal and Telegram👎. “They” understand our concerns. “They” for whatever incomprehensible reason keep using WhatsApp 🤷 We’re left out of the loop because once “everyone” is on that WhatsApp group, it’s tiring for them to send an email or an sms to the exceptional one or two people

          What are you talking about? Your comment isn’t relevant at all. Next time read more carefully

            it is relevant.

            requiring phone number and being centralized doesn’t make Signal “not great” in a world where a great majority of people use WhatsApp + read the last comment again but more carefully ;)

            signal is a great alternative to a WhatsApp world. Simplex or Session has no chance with the general public
