@R3yScale @cwtch I would love if cwtch could replace simplex, fascist project maintainer and cwtch is more decentralised and censorship resistant

All it would take I think for me to say the switch is worth it would be quantum resistant encryption and new cryptographic identities in every chat (perhaps a different tor address for every new chat)

I also need to compare the deniability features - simplex has a nice hidden profile feature

@kkarhan Yes I was aware of that one. That's where deniability comes in: on the official SimpleX client there is a hidden profile feature: to display hidden profile you type in a password you set previously but you type it into the chat search bar so there is no indication in the GUI that you have any hidden profile. I think each hidden profile can have their own associated password so you can type in a password and say there you go thats all my hidden profiles when actually there are more

I like how people are recommending a bunch of FLOSS messengers now, its an opportunity to check out underrated projects like I just a few minutes ago learned about the FLOSS project Quiet (https://tryquiet.org) from a discord community trying to relocate.

The website says its all E2EE P2P with tor built in, channels like slack/discord, no email or phone number required. Unfortunately no quantum resistant encryption on the roadmap so I still would recommend SimpleX for general purpose instant messaging but Tor-by-default and P2P are genuine advantages over Simplex

If you found this post interesting you might also be interested in these decentralised encrypted messengers with various pros and cons compared to eachother:

Quiet - Private messaging. No servers.

@thejessiekirk

You're probably going to find a lot of suggestions, heres two comparison tables for E2EE instant messengers:

•https://eylenburg.github.io/im_comparison.htm

•https://www.messenger-matrix.de/messenger-matrix-en.html

even if its not got all the same features as discord, instant messaging is a part of discord and I guess it could be something you're thinking about

Edit forgot to mention: for reasons you can find on these tables and that I can elaborate on if you want I suggest simplex for private anonymous deniable and censorship resistant chats

@torf

I just confirmed the official simplex client has a hidden profile feature, right click a profile from the profile selection to bring up a hide profile option, you can then give it a password (i think each profile can be given a different password) and then to reveal it you type the full password into the profile search box
