End-to-End Encryption is good but metadata protection counts as much. Names, group descriptions and memberships, avatars, who talks to whom ...

Both #deltachat and #signal go to great length to protect all the metadata that WhatsApp grants itself gratuitously. #Matrix stores similar scales of metadata on their servers, even if you can choose which server stores it.

Everything is better than #Telegram which additionally stores message contents in all group chats/channels and most 1:1 chats.

@faket
lead dev is climate-denying nazi transphobe. not exaggerating. check his X.

simplex being "decentralized" means having a hardcoded list of two different server operators to choose from.

@pelle Thank you for this, so you mean I can’t install my own server and use it ? Didn’t found any doc on installing a server on their repo, but didn’t search a lot…

@faket if you install the app and press "configure server operators", you can chose between "simplex" and "flux" (whatever that means).
