element/matrix vs #SimpleX

element/matrix e2e encryption has had a rocky past with many holes. they do have more active rooms though. just don't trust that any of them are secure or e2e enabled.

i remember earlier this year notifying the admins when someone took over the element chat (with admin privileges) and started randomly calling like 15k members in the room as well as clitching the feed. it was a live hack.

tl,dr: i treat it like a public support blog or forum that i don't expect to be secure.

i was an early adopter of SimpleX, since december 2022 and i have had many chats and interactions with the developer, Evgeny.

SimpleX privacy & security is absolutely brilliant. it's still beta but it's growing...fast. the amount of rooms is growing and afaiac rn it is the absolute best out there for private and/or anonymous conversations.

i have always seen it as a Signal killer that could very well be a #matrix killer as well. 🤙🏻💜
