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. 😫
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.

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)
