Hmmm the Signal users sure like it, will have to take off my tinfoil data hat and give it a try

Yeah well it’s more of a fun recommendation, don’t take things so seriously. There are already enough serious recommendations in the comments.

The age ol convenience vs privacy. But fair that is user friendly

The Miyoo Mini Plus. It’s a Gameboy Linux Emulator device. Besides being able to run most games up to ps1, you can also put ebooks as pdf or epub on it.

All big 3, Signal Telegram SimpleX, are just go to app store install, and send invite to contacts. SimpleX gets framed as technical and dissuades new users from installing, while it’s just as easy as the other 2.

Bit the gist of this comment section, lots of signal users because it’s the standard alt. SimpleX has better anonymity than both Signal and Telegram, which should make it way more popular for the privacy conscience.

Have it on always on, with small scale friends and family use. Don’t find it too draining, updates have improved the battery usage

Signal and Telegram both require user ID to use their apps. SimpleX-chat does not, zero registration. So if privacy is your number one whish from your messenger than SimpleX is what you’re looking for.

Good projects require money. And SimpleX is still way better than Signal and Telegram, so imo it’s worth supporting and using

Dystopian mega corp does dystopian mega corp shizzle, what a surprise

Right there with you brudda

Ah Monero, a privacy powerhouse of a solution against centralized banking, truly a beautiful piece of tech. But sadly cursed with the crypto stigma that even seasoned privacy veterans are afraid off.

Hope some day people will set aside their cryptophobia to use Monero, the only true private digital currency. Why else do you think so many countries and goverments try to ben it. Because it actually works and they can’t control it.

Even your comment got downvoted… But hey once they called GrapheneOS, Linux, Signal etc. users crazy…

SimpleX Chat, no phone number or e-mail registration needed. Truly a privacy pioneer.

Yeah that’s probable. Since changing some settings on the connections limits it has already increased, still not as much as peak download like you said.

Good UX and quality of life features should prevent users from having mishaps like this. So yeah it’s shitty in this regard.
