I reached out to someone new on social media through #SimpleX.

That's nearly the perfect use case. I don't want strangers having my direct contact info, in case they turn out to be weirdos.

The best case would be a complete stranger in person. I would NEVER give a stranger on the bus or plane or street my number. But I'd be happy to share a one-time SimpleX contact link with anyone.

The person I contacted ended up being cool enough.

I really like SimpleX. I wish more people were willing to use it -- to forever ditch SMS, FB Messenger, et al.
