Yea, it’s a different tool. And it’s still early days.
I don’t use SimpleX as a daily driver, yet. But it has a lot potential. Just glad to see another tool out there, and the devs seem really earnest (I worked with them a year ago while testing the app).
I should give it a try, but not sure if I will be able to talk with anyone… I don’t really have friends that care about privacy… 😢
Lol, welcome to the club!
God how I despise SMS, and I can’t get anyone off it, even if other options are easier to use than SMS, much more robust, faster, more flexible, etc.
There are a couple messaging apps that are self-hostable (like I believe SimpleX is). Litewire is one. At some point I plan on hosting one myself, and preconfigure accounts for friends/family to make it even easier for them. Maybe that will get them on board.
Yeah, and I first need to get friends… such a hard work… physical world isn’t for me…
Lol, there is that problem. One thing at a time…
