    The protocol doesn’t really matter when you send encrypted messages over it like Delta Chat. Signal is not private nor decentralized and SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried

      Maybe. My comment was based off of what i understood from the website

      Signal is not private

      Could you elaborate on this? haven’t heard of this point (is it due to the jurisdiction on a 5 eyes country?)

      It actually does now. It’s a very solid choice i’d say :)

          Interesting, thanks. I think SimpleX fixes a lot of signal’s issues, but the only problem i have that it is funded by VC and quite new.

            They are open source and decentralized and indeed there are already a few forks.

              Yup that’s why it seems great :) though i haven’t heard of forks. I think i’ll wait a little more till i switch to it, just to see if it gets itself in hot water. It’s too early to tell

            Ah so they are just capturing users currently and will have to make return on investment later? That’s a no from me.

              Yeah it’s a shame, though i’m going to wait before switching to it to see if it gets itself into any hot water.
