Rogue, what do you think about Briar and SimpleX? Vs Signal and Molly
Discussion
I recommend both SimpleX and Briar, they both have PFS. Adoption is important for privacy and security. IMO Signal/Molly has more users and is easy to use so it's good for day to day communication and normie adoption while SimpleX and Briar are for more specialized use cases.

We've not yet added SimpleX to our AnonymousPlanet.org guide due to it still being somewhat of an untested protocol. But certainly a cool project and we'll see how it fairs with anonymity and security over time.
Still some growing pains it seems as "fully" deleted messages are still retained in the SimpleX Chat CLI or the "Chat Console" in the GUI, until you clear the terminal.
nice guide. simplex is recommended in our guide and most others' as it passes our strict guidelines for inclusion.
i have had multiple conversations with evgeny since we started testing and using simplex ~a year ago. i even helped onboard him to nostr.
there have been growing pains since alpha/beta (voice used to just not work) but as with any app/protocol, development has come a long way since then and they are quick to squash any bugs.
they are open source, e2ee by default, support e2ee for all messages and they have been sucessfully audited.
the only remaining bonus metric afaic is to be battletested in court and that comes with time.

Nice! Which guide is yours?
thx. it is a paid guide for more extreme clients. i took the old site down. it was deliberately hard to find and not for the general public. everything is currently being overhauled, rebooted, rebranded, and updated from the ground up to include resources for the general public and much more. pretty excited about it. will def link when it is launched.
sweet, sounds good, keep me posted 👍
awesome. will do 🤙
check out this interview with evgeny and seth for privacy. i respect them both and enjoyed it very much.
