@dalias @joelanman So Signal is safe because if the UK tries to backdoor it they will withdraw from the UK leaving the vast majority of UK activists that rely on it high and dry? Also you're trusting Signal LLC that theyll stick to their principles and leave entire markets, its a bit naive, SimpleX users don't have to worry about it at all. Yes signals open source and you could check if they added a backdoor, but that wouldnt negate the network effect, how long would it take to remigrate?

Matrix *is decentralised but with no quantum secure e2ee like signal nor its metadata privacy or secret group chats. SimpleX has the best of both worlds and more. more decentralised than matrix. quantum-secure e2ee, metadata privacy, ip protection, tor support, no persistent id basically "a burner phone for every contact" dms need invites so less spam than matrix
