They waste a gigantic shitload of money on an encrypted chat app, every damn year.

SimpleX works well for me, I see no real need for Signal.
Deploying SimpleX message servers is easy. Similiar to Nostr in a way of topology.
My mother is 63 years old, and she uses SimpleX perfectly. The only thing that confuses her is the audio and video calls, because there's a separate button for audio, but video has to be found in the options.
Why is it a waste?
Last century's technology at last century's prices.
Idk what laeserin uses but i’ve heard alot about simplex and matrix. Might want to check those out.

Followed matrix quite closely for a long time. I have never really liked the user interface. I actually started to onboard people but they complained quite a lot. It used to be increasingly slow and unstable, that have gotten a lot better I think.
SimpleX seems quite new to me. Will have to look into it. But it will be hard to beat the spousal approval factor and intense scrutiny that the signal is under.
A lot of grifting there as well.
servers to host all users i bet, signal is best when used with family since you've already shared your phone nber with them.
