Can we make a Matrix or Session group to track this instead? Here's what a comparison of Session to SimpleX said: "To summarize – SimpleX is a broken and messy thing, but it is very cool." I don't use a smartphone very much and desktop apps that work well are few and far between. It seems like everyone is trying to drag me to their favorite messenger without providing any additional benefits in anonymity and security. I wouldn't mind if SimpleX had binary installers for more distro's, but that territory rarely gets covered adequately in early adoption.
Yes, because people treat messenger choices as a popularity competition.
Look how many people I got to switch to crapware just because they wanted to chat with me! I must be super socially powerful! Woo hoo! Meanwhile, the technical consequences of this strategy are... predictable: crapware.
Opt out of all the noise and just stick to IRC.
I think the many competing messengers are a good thing. Makes it a lot harder for glowies to spy and gather data.
Simplex is not bad, encrypted and proxies through tor easily if you already have tor running.
