Does anyone use SimpleX chat? Why or why not? Is it actually tangibly better for privacy than say, Signal, for example? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

There is a sliding scale between security and convenience, and SimpleX falls on the incredibly secure side of that equation.

By doing it the way they have, they have made sure that nobody can impersonate you, except under duress.

Honestly its pretty convenient too, only inconvenience really is backing up a file.
