The last time I tried Briar felt more of an emergency scenario pick then a comfortable one, it can do videocalls right now? Valid project btw.
Seems that’s true. Text-only communication in Briar is built by design. I see this from its communication scheme. I don’t think any other message options will come up. So I am also on it in case of the Internet outage. Besides, you can chat properly only when you and your contact are both online. Not a very handy option for daily use.
So SimpleX.Chat for privacy and Matrix for public groups.
Looks like they have ‘public groups’ in their roadmap: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat#roadmap
Matrix’s groups have an important difference from SimpleX. Even if the primary server is gone, the related servers will still have the copies.
