Hi everyone, I’m glad to be a new member of this forum!
Recently, on my neverending quest for privacy and anonymity, I was researching an alternative to Signal due to needing to phone number to sign up. I came across several options, including Session messenger which is hosted here in Australia, however I eventually crossed that off my list due to the possibility of infiltration with our lack of privacy laws.
I then came across SimpleX messenger, a unique messenger that does not store any user data and requires only a username to sign up. Adding contacts is done through QR codes, which only you can share. This is an excerpt from their about page:
To deliver messages, instead of user IDs used by all other platforms, SimpleX uses temporary anonymous pairwise identifiers of message queues, separate for each of your connections — there are no long term identifiers.
What do you guys think? I have been using it for a while between family and friends and have yet to come across an issue.
