Why don't people here love SimpleXChat more? - eviltoast

SimpleX Chat is an instant messenger that is decentralized and doesn’t depend on any unique identifiers such as phone numbers or usernames. Users of SimpleX Chat can scan a QR code or click an invite link to participate in group conversations.

It’s clearly proving to be the most innovative technology when it comes to decentralized communication, in my opinion.

    Session messenger allows you to chat without linking a phone number to your account. It’s what drug dealers use lol.

      What really bothers me about Session is that you effectively cannot selfhost - hosting a node is prohibitively expensive. So seems like the only people who can realistically host a node are crypto bros, big companies and government agencies. Thanks, I would rather stick with IRC/XMPP/Matrix.
