No E2EE for DMs, groups, or notes.
That’s going to be the deal breaker for most.

“Oh, just Delayed Blast Fireball. Why do you ask?”
“Of course I know where everyone is going to be over the course of the next minute. I mean, really… how far can they go?”
The huge red flag to me is that Signal is no longer decried as the devil of western intelligence anymore.
Frank Figliuzzi (former FBI cointel) and Chuck Rosenberg (former DEA admin) used to rail on about all of the dangers posed by Signal, but I haven’t heard an unkind word in over a couple years now.
Privacy aside, but just for a second
I apologize, you were very clear about being outside of privacy. Forgive me, I’m having trouble separating its context in this regard.
I liken level of standard similar to personal reputation. At the end of the day, that’s all we have—we accept what we are willing to live with.
We each make a choice according to our level of comfort in concern to privacy, or lack thereof, in how we choose to conduct ourselves afforded by the solutions we utilize and the rituals we observe.
Remember, privacy can never be enforced or guaranteed, only encouraged. Best practices, as available, as it were.
I think some people get lost and don’t realize that this is a privacy-centric community.
The mere potential for identifier leaking is 100% anti-privacy.

I assure you that delicate sensitivities are nongenerational, ffs.
We are a period-genuine curiosity that will certainly be reconstructed in the future—if the data is available to do so. Our lives, logs, and transactions are a finite resource if simply because they are real.
Imagine a hobby, digging up old logs and piecing together various accounts across deep datsets, working toward a bigger picture… and then realize this is all intuited through whatever present AI. No labor involved, at all, and there is no time limit on this.
We’re all eventually just an intelligent query away from being rediscovered if outside of average in any respect, and even the most average person will become a celebrated oddity.
Each SimpleX release gets me closer to using it. The upcoming v5.8 update is no exception:
And another round of security audits:
Looking good.
Edit: SimpleX v5.7.5 is 313 MB without Data/Cache on Android. Yikes.
