What other relationships is Facebook hiding? Better alternatives exist.
I use Signal. I have also been meaning to try Molly, a hardened version of Signal, but I haven't had the time.

Looked at SimpleX this weekend, and if I sent that to a normie, I’m afraid it would look spammy. Like, can we ungeek our world a little bit? Gah. 😫
Agree. This is why none of my friends and family use SimpleX.
What about it appears spammy?
The long link, the capital X… if someone isn’t already aware of what it is, they’re just going to think it’s spam.
I will have to do the work to explain what it is and why first…to all these normies who have already given it up to Meta…
Yea. I can see why the links could look suspicious. Their website has a few graphics that could help explain SimpleX to people easier. Explaining the lack of identifiable users may confuse some at first 😆
Can they build something into the QR code graphic, like „someone invited you to message privately on this secure app?” (Kinda long)
I wanted to use Molly but it's always a version or two behind. I waited a month for it to synchronize versions to transfer before I un-installed it.
I'd love to drop whatsapp for signal but sadly in my country uncle zuck's app is by far the most used and signal is not even top 3 🫤
I get it. The state of messaging applications has always sucked. You need to have half a dozen installed to communicate with people.
That should have fallen under mailing laws. You can't peep into people's mailboxes, even if you're just a curious courier, let alone doing it for profit!
Sessions. No telephone number. Only seed phrases. Give it a try…
Molly FOSS is good
Fuck signal. I put in a lot of work to get some family members to join and then they started shit coining.
And now the odds of me getting my mom and sister to join some other Messenger is so small I don't think I'll even try. (I think they even hurt my evangelical efforts for nostr as well).
Even privacy concerns aside, the fact that people use FB and Instagram DMs to communicate baffles me.
I assume all tech companies are doing this even ones that claim to protect the privacy of their customers. There is no privacy on the web. Don’t put anything online that you don’t want others to know or see.
agree. this is why encryption is extremely important.
isn't molly more about spiritual communication?
