      agreed, i liked that session had out of the box alternative routing, but a basic vpn + simplex’s new private routing knocks down one of my final gripes with the app.

      although, i guess my only other gripe now is that using your simplex profile on both desktop and phone is either hard as shite or totally impossible.

    Why is Simplex based. Damn this is cool.

    However, I do wish they would adopt a more decentralized approach like Jami and Briar. It is very hard to get right but it has so many benifits.

      Yea, my main concern for now is that most people are using default servers. Good thing their servers are very easy to host, but still, power of the default. I would really like to see lists of public servers, like what we see now for XMPP and Matrix. The thing is still young, so looking forward.

          I self-host too, that wasn’t the problem, it’s that there is the power of the default. Just like with Matrix. You can ask a friend to use your server or another one and delete the main ones entirely, but chances are you won’t be avoiding them in a random chatroom.

      XMPP as a protocol was great. But the problems the servers had, the mess is just a no go. SimpleX is far better in privacy and usability in my opinion. I doubt XMPP will recover anytime soon.

    Most important part of the blog post:

    We are planning a 3rd party security audit for the protocols and cryptography design in July 2024, and also the security audit for an implementation in December 2024/January 2025, and it would hugely help us if some part of this $50,000+ expense is covered with donations.
