The protocol doesn’t really matter when you send encrypted messages over it like Delta Chat. Signal is not private nor decentralized and SimpleX doesn’t have encrypted group chats last time I tried

Maybe. My comment was based off of what i understood from the website

Signal is not private

Could you elaborate on this? haven’t heard of this point (is it due to the jurisdiction on a 5 eyes country?)

It actually does now. It’s a very solid choice i’d say :)

You need a phone number to sign up which requires identification in most countries.

Also anyone who knows your username can ping where you are at any time: https://gist.github.com/hackermondev/45a3cdfa52246f1d1201c1e8cdef6117

You are confusing privacy with anonymity. You aren’t anonymous because your user is linked to a phone number, but your communications are private due to how their encryption works.

On the location attack: it is a matter of configuration and your location will be as ambiguous as thousands of miles.

Interesting, thanks. I think SimpleX fixes a lot of signal’s issues, but the only problem i have that it is funded by VC and quite new.
