Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?
Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.
Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there’s no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.
Do you want anonymity or ease of use? You won’t beat anything that uses actual phone numbers in terms of mass adoption. You won’t find an app that allows for true privacy that uses actual phone numbers. These things are mutually exclusive.
You can get a well grade of anonimity with Briar or Session.
I’ve started using SimpleX with a few privacy minded friends, we migrated our Group from Signal to SimpleX. The experience has been great so far!
What I don’t like about SimpleX is that it’s still missing proper Desktop/3rd Part Apps as far as I’m aware. Furthermore the whole project is still in it’s infancy.
Though it’s already usable day to day.
My plan moving forward with SimpleX is writing a nix-flake to build SimpleX Chat CLI on nix.
I really like delta chat as well. Anonymous mails are easy to come by and everyone has an email adress. Bonus: people actually start encrypting their messages.
IMHO, it is a good balance between adoption and security. Still not perfect, though.
