nostr, how often do you use SimpleX?
Discussion
Don’t know many people that use it, so not often.
have you posted your link? 🤔
On nostr yea
I did, then quit.
what made you quit?
Unreliable notifications. I never knew if I had messages unless I opened the app.
And that was on Android with power saving off, etc. It was worse on iPhone.
if notifications were fixed, would you go back?
Maybe. It’s hard to tell. I’m pretty happy with what I’m using - enough that I coughed up money to support it. But if it worked, and I had enough friends to converse with - I tend to go where people are when I need to.
may i ask what you are using instead? 💜
Telegram. I use it for nearly everything now.
Seems frowned upon here 🤔
Some FUD, and people don’t like using a phone number to sign up.
SimpleX theoretically leaks less metadata. But there are trade offs that make it difficult for me. You can only use SimpleX on one device for instance. I use telegram from my iPhone, iPad, and PC. We don’t use discord (my friends/family) anymore because we all have telegram.
The chat features also convinced my non-tech family to sign up. So I quit using SMS and Discord both. Big security/privacy upgrade for me.

Tried it out. But never got very far. Difficult to get the network effect going
I've tried it and like the concept. However, I do not use it. This is due to not being able to convince family and friends to use it. The only others I've seen use it are either people I've met on nostr or the Fediverse and I just communicate with them via either nostr or Activity Pub.
