An overview of how @simplex works and what sets it apart from other messaging apps and protocols:
https://linuxiac.com/simplex-chat/
"SimpleX is one of the most private and secure chat and applications platform that you can find out there."
The contrast between daily-driving @calyxos and having an another phone on stock Android and watching the firewall logs is pretty sobering.
Seeing the *OS* and its components phoning home to various (Google) APIs multiple times an hour, even while you are sleeping and haven't touched your phone for hours is.. quite something.
By comparison, the CalyxOS phone really only interacts with the network when needed, and most of the logged connections don't even go to external services, but ones I host myself (Matrix, Mastodon…)
Google sure is unavoidable (e.g. 80% of all internet mail lands on their servers), but that doesn't mean one should make it trivial for them to hoover up ALL of one's data all the time… 😶

You can restrict who can see your posts with post visibilities. There are four kinds:
-"Public" is visible to everyone.
-"Unlisted" is visible to everyone but doesn't show up in searches or trends.
-"Followers-Only" is only visible to people who follow you. If you use this, switch on follow requests too so you can screen who gets to see your Followers-Only posts.
-"Mentions" is only visible to accounts mentioned in the post.

Yes, Google, please give me a smaller Pixel 9 Pro!
I've reluctantly used Google's giant Pixels. The rumored smaller Pixel 9 Pro could be just want I need.
