Re: "Simplex Chat"

In: s/privacy

I just installed SimpleX. Very nice from a user POV. Less bloated than Element, which is what I use day-to-day.

However, I want to see if I can switch away from the default servers. obviously, it’s not a privacy issue, but what is the point of decentralization if everyone uses the default servers.

I read about SimpleX and I liked its focus on metadata-resistance. Is there however any GUI client for desktop GNU/Linux or *BSD?

Not last I checked unfortunately.

There are indeed GUI desktop apps for SimpleX :)

It is far more powerful than Signal, but it is still much worse than Briar's off-grid communication ability and a large number of relay servers relying on the Tor network.

Simplex Chat — Is anybody else familiar with Simplex Chat? I just started checking it out a couple days ago and it seems like a neat little messenger. It reminds me of a kind of middle ground between Signal and Briar.
