  1. Sto cercando di rilanciare l'uso di simplex e di creare una comunità stabile, forte e interessante.
    Pensavo di agire in questo modo:
    1. Iniziamo con chat singole
    2. Creiamo dei gruppi tematici
    Cosa ne pensate?
    Chi vuole partecipare?
    Ecco il mio link per iniziare a messaggiare con me!

  5. Signal travaillerait sur une fonctionnalité d'enregistrement sans numéro de téléphone : aboutsignal.com/news/signal-is

    C'est une information intéressante, ça pourrait rendre Signal plus attractif dans un sens, mais niveau spam je ne sais pas ce que ça va donner.
    A voir quelle forme ça va prendre et comment cela va se comparer à deltachat et SimpleX ?🤔
    En tout cas c'est pas mal de voir Signal écouter les retours de la communauté 🤓

    ( francais en bas )

    Finally, the government’s getting it and developing their tools internally… #selfhosted.. but for themselves only...

    If they get it, maybe it’s time for you to change too?? We recommend #SimpleX and #Briar.

  8. If you're going to bash the competition, at least be honest about it. @simplex

    I can't speak to the other points here, but Session does have message padding, though only for attachments up to 10 MB. This is highlighted in section 6.2 of their whitepaper, which is linked on the first page of their website; they also mentioned it in multiple interviews. So they deserve a yellow check mark.

    This is achieved by first padding each attachment to fit within a fixed number of constant sizes between 0 and 10 megabytes, then encrypting the attachment with a random symmetric AES key.

    It should be a no-brainer to read the whitepaper of the competition before making any claims about them.

    I'm happy to be proven wrong.

  10. #SimpleX came close, however it was let down by several factors (some may have changed since):
    - is funded by Jack Dorsey of Twitter (big red flag),
    - issues with group messages arriving out of order or not at all, and getting de-sync'd
    - is written in Haskell so harder to contribute or write bots for
    - is a memory hog on both mobile and desktop
    - poor UX including onboarding (private routing? incognito mode?)
    - poor multi-device support (must have mobile app running to use desktop)

  12. SimpleX servers are reliable. That’s not enough.

    Its whole point is privacy + identity isolation: no shared phone number, no account ID tying your contacts together.

    But that removes the usual escape hatch. On other apps, if things break you just call or SMS to reconnect. SimpleX has no such fallback, by design.

    So resilience must be built in. Automatic backup routing isn’t a nice-to-have; it’s mandatory because privacy leaves you nothing else to fall back on.

  14. Ziemlich langer Zext aber eine sehr gute Analyse einzelner Messenger. #Threema ist also tatsächlich nicht der sicherste wie manche immer sagen. 😆thecybersecguru.com/online-pri okay der Fairnesshalber Threema ist schon ziemlich sicher. 🫶🏼

  16. @cwtch I prefer the self reliance of p2p over the centralisation in SimpleX but SimpleX has quantum resistant encryption so I will continue to main that for now

  21. I heard someone say in a SimpleX messaging group chat: SimpleX is intended to be used in places with high censorship and is not recommended for regular use. So, this means I need to tell my government to increase censorship so that I can continue using SimpleX.

  22. « #SimpleX busca reducir la exposición de metadatos eliminando identidades globales. #Cwtch se centra en dificultar la construcción de grafos sociales y en limitar la información disponible para el análisis de relaciones. #Briar prioriza la continuidad de las comunicaciones incluso bajo condiciones de censura o interrupción de infraestructura. #TinfoilChat, por su parte, se preocupa por escenarios donde el propio dispositivo ya no puede considerarse completamente confiable.»
