Nostr and Simplex are the solution to censorship.

ISPs cannot ban Nostr, there are currently more than 617 relays, they would have to ban all their ips, so what? setting up a relay is very simple, they can even operate behind Tor.

Nostr has no central server to attack, no rigid architecture to dismantle.

The same goes for Simplex, you can set up your own Simplex server in 5 minutes, it is not feasible to censor all Simplex servers, and in the same way, they can also operate behind Tor.

Simplex, like Nostr also does not have a central server to attack and censor.

If you are using Telegram, think about migrating your groups to Simplex, what is happening in Spain can happen in your country at any time.

Session is far superior to SimpleX group chats which don’t scale. You’re only biased to SimpleX because you hate any crypto other than Bitcoin, which is ironically your form of censorship.

Sesion compared to Simplex is crap with respect to privacy, p2p programs are not good at preserving privacy.

It also works terribly.

First off Session isn’t peer-to-peer. It’s peer-to-node, working like a crypto-powered Tor.

Second, SimpleX is closer to peer-to-peer with group chats requiring each member to crypto-handshake with the other ones, which is why it doesn’t scale. Our group chat has 230 or 250 people depending on whose client you’re looking at, because the handshakes aren’t going through to all members.

Third, Session’s unique DNS enables it to hop from device to device if the server’s location is discovered, making it completely separated from physical locations. We’ve created original server-side code for this, which you can find out about here,

Anyone can set up a Simplex server, almost no one can set up a session node because of the cost.

If I don't run the server, I don't run the code.

There are two issues, censorship and privacy.

I disagree with this view for censorship, as here the issue is who owns the domain name.

With SimpleX, it's the government.

With Session, its the end user with private keys to their blockchain entry.

Thank you both for the great insights !
