In my opinion this is the best messager for democracy. For receiving messages while offline you can use Briar mailboxes. I would highly recommend this over many other messagers.

Yes, for giving contacts each other's Briar info. That's one f the reasons that I say that SimpleX can never be a total replacement for Signal. People on here push SimpleX hard for privacy and total anonymity and I agree with them, and there's been a few made up fantasies about the people who run Signal, but I see no way to ditch Signal and only have SimpleX and nothing else.

I do discourage Matrix/Element and suggest XMPP instead
