It is very secure but... Not exactly smooth yet.

I agree, depending on what you value more:

Privacy:

SimpleX > Signal

User experience:

SimpleX < Signal

What about telegram?

Not encrypted by default, vague monetization strategy, don't trust the founders

You mean recordchatgram? Not safe at all

Nothing is perfect, but SimpleX is the best I’ve come across so far.

Use session app

Me too

I use Signal for personal contacts, Matrix (specifically Element) for coordinated discussion and Session if I want something anonymous.

Go for simplex! It works fine on android

Simplex compared to others is the best open source chat application for privacy. I only know of one other one that is like simplex but is currently in an alpha state & bareboned with it's development which is.

But yes simplex is the best speaking of that lets make a room there & chat it up.

Hello again Simplex is still the best in comparison to others with it's protocols you really can ensure no interception. The only bad thing I could say is fat mat you ui & notifications always on will obliterate your battery %. Other then that it's the best to chat on!

SimpleX, and with a nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll server you can self-host the communication on your own server as well.

Is it only through TOR?

Yes, but nostr:npub126ntw5mnermmj0znhjhgdk8lh2af72sm8qfzq48umdlnhaj9kuns3le9ll is working on clearnet integration for their services. Not 100% sure if clearnet would also apply for SimpleX.

Thanks for the info! 🙏 it'll be great if clearnet was an option.

It certainly will!
