Which app you think can be the alternative tho🤔

Where is the blockchain/shitcoin?

So Sessions would probably be a better choice?

This is a bit hyperbolic. Run your own relay & ignore theirs & flux's relays.

That said, better keep an eye on nostr:nprofile1qqsth7fr42fyvpjl3rzqclvm7cwves8l8l8lqedgevhlfnamvgyg78spzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqqdtrej & nostr:nprofile1qqs9ajjs5p904ml92evlkayppdpx2n3zdrq6ejnw2wqphxrzmd62swspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuvrcvd5xzapwvdhk6qgdwaehxw309aukzcn49ekk2qghwaehxw309aex2mrp0yh8x6tpd4ehgu3wvdhk6ynf30t 😉

How can they do content moderation when everything is encrypted?

What if you self-host Simplex? Then there's no content moderation.

there is a solid toggle to opt-in/out from Flux usage

I supported simplex, I was mistaken.

Avoid.

Why not use nostr?

To address some incorrect criticism:

> Did you know @SimpleX Chat now has a blockchain/shitcoin built in (called Flux)?

Nope, that's not true. There is no built-in coin. Flux the company offers their servers to the app users. Not their coin.

> Did you know they've also started doing "content moderation"—blocking users, groups and 3rd party servers?

Also not true. We cannot block users, as there are no users, and we do not block 3rd party servers. We do remove addresses of groups that distribute CSAM from our servers, without any impact on users privacy.

> 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.

Not true. Freedom of speech without SOME restriction cannot exist - unlimited freedom always leads to abuses of power and tyranny. Study some history. Our freedom ends where the freedom of our neighbours starts, so some limits absolutely must exist to defend our freedom.

> SimpleX Chat ... not decentralized

Not true as well - there are 100s if not 1000s of community run servers. If you don't want to use ours or Flux's, use your own or anybody else's - it's all in a single network.

> not censorship-resistant.

This is correct, and this will change, as was explained in livestream.

Censorship-resistance and privacy are technically contradictory requirements, so they have to be balanced.

> I also found out they are getting funded by VCS such a Village Global

We were never hiding it, and who are it's LPs is irrelevant - they have no influence or control on SimpleX Chat.

Use DarkIRC

I knew Simplex would devolve into this, because Haskell programmers are the biggest group of whiny retards behind Rust devs.

frankly i also expected some nonsense just based on the choice of stupid languages

Lol .. 🤣 .. I knew it is going to crap out .. waste of time these apps .. why are these people smoking ..

Flux is a infra provider for running many things, Simplex Queue Servers included, it just happens to be funded via a crypto token.

That is like saying it is bad if people host SimpleX on Amazon because Amazon acceots US dollar tokens.

Lol no it don't.. Its a partnership with FLUX (runonflux.io) there is a Decentralized AWS if you will ..

So it can insecure truly decentralized hosting

Making SimpleX censorship resistance decentralized & private communication with it being fully open source ..

Like you know FLUX also hosts Nostr Relays right 😉

I would like you to know jack dorsey sponsored simplex why didn't you mention him in this bad rant of a post on simplex oh because hes pro nostr you don't wana tie your bad claimsnto jack.

First off the blockchain their making isn't for csam this kind of misinformation is how people believe an assumption & spread false information. Please take some time to do a full research on what your talking about before you say it. Hes making a blockchain so he can make a profit off of transactiond exchanged on it (the blockchain fee that's in every blockchain) The goal is to allow server operators smp owners to make a profit as well as evgeny.

The method of making the directory bot have the option to make the user pay the group owner for access to the group or solve a image word captcha challenge. This is the protection to prevent bots from spam attacking rooms. You don't have to pay anyone if the options not on just so you know this isn't even in simplex yet the payment method. Second this does not affect anonymity or privacy in any way nothing within the simplex group messaging protocol has changed yet & when it does it's only affecting how users connect to chat because the protection added.

So what's happening or will happen when it's finished is you join a room, you will only be connected to the bot not trying to connect to every member in the group. You pass the captcha then you will connect to the group & every member. Now everything else you pointed out has been apart of simplex since it came out user blocking & content moderation. The only difference between then & now is theirs labels so you know wtf is going on & not assuming it's a random connection error.

For content moderation all that was added is a window to show reports which is displayed to all admins & owners in the group. The directory bot if it's an admin in your group forwards all report messages to it's owner so common sense don't make the directory bot admin in your group. The better answer is FORK THE DIRECTORY BOT CODE & HOST IT YOURSELF!

Now you say simplex isn't decentralized it is but you don't understand how that works. What your expecting is some built in search to easily discovery like how activitypub does to track instances. You go to settings & configure your connection's routing method so that means find the smp server info & put it in yourself there you go decentralized you made the effort.

Why is flux in there because they agreed to simplex's terms to be listed within the app as a third party server operator. Evgeny doesn't want any random fuck listed he made terms to make sure that operators would comply to a strict set of guidelines so they would ensure not to compromise the anonymity of users. If you don't know any smp owner can see through his terminal console while his smp is running ipaddress 1 msg ipaddress 2. That's just how messaging works regardless of application period.

So please tell me what you don't understand after taking the time to read & lookup on github to confirm hey maybe even join the simplex chat & read whats being discussed.

So where to now?

If you don't understand SimpleX please read more about SimpleX. Don't spreading your bullshit!
