Did you know nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0chkv5c now has a blockchain/shitcoin built in (called Flux)?
Did you know they've also started doing "content moderation"โblocking users, groups and 3rd party servers?
Yeah, so far it's only to stop CSAM distribution but we all know how that's a slippery slope. The good old "Think of the children" tactic. If there's a method to ban, block or censor, it will be used and ABUSED.
SimpleX Chat may have good #privacy but it's not decentralized, neither censorship-resistant. They also seem too concerned with complying with Google/Apple storesโโ(...)there are requirements we have to comply with that exist outside of law, e.g. requirements of application stores.โ
I also found out they are getting funded by VCS such a Village Global ( https://www.villageglobal.vc/ ), which have backers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Anne Wojcicki and others.
This is not freedom tech. I'm out. DYOR.

God damn it ๐ But is there a better alternative at this very moment? I'm guessing many will say signal but I'm not convinced. Maybe I'll look into the Molly fork.
Thanks, now to determine what to choose ๐ I know I don't have to but unfortunately I'm that kinda guy.
Just get them both.
0xchat is for normal Nostr DM's. And keychat is for Anon messaging
Right, time to tell my friends to hop onto a different app yet again if they wanna stay in contact with me lmao. Oh well, had a few good years on Simplex.
