What issues do you have with simplex and groups? I run a server/relay instance and my family uses it. Not often, but enough. No real issues. Other than notifications work only if you want your battery to go to 0. Lol
Messaging is broken.
Signal is centralized.
SimpleX doesn't do groups well.
Session doesn't auto-rotate keys.
XMPP lacks multi-device support.
And Matrix leaks metadata & is slow.
Nostr DMs are currently horrible. But White Noise looks like a promising potential upcoming solution to all of these problems. It uses MLS for the actual encryption with Nostr keys just for identity.
MLS is able to offer easy scaling for groups, that isn't bogged down by being a bunch of one-on-ones in disguise as a group UI, the way signal, session, and simplex are. Check out, https://www.whitenoise.chat/

Messages can arrive out of order in large groups (1000+) especially if you only connect over tor like i do. They are adding super peers to reduce this but its not live yet
Ah, got it. Thanks!
