Replying to Avatar Lyn Alden

People convinced me to move to Signal, and then to Nostr.

Then they said Bluesky and Threads which I have resisted. I can't be everywhere.

Now they are saying Simplex.

I'm on Twitter, Email, Signal, Nostr, Whatsapp, and DMs.

Give me the Simplex case. Make this Herpes-adjacent name sound good to me. Is there critical mass there? Should my scrambled attention start to spend some time there? Tell me.

Simplex is open source and end-2-end encrypted.

I think signal is end-2-end encrypted by government by an external foundation so it could be compromised by a state attack e.g. β€œleglislation that bans encrypted messaging services as seen in the United Kingdom government last week”.

Session uses encrypted private keys. I like it a lot, but I can't get anyone to use it with me.
