Hello everyone,

I have discovered SimpleX Chat (nothing to do with XChat or HexChat, or the favorite letter of some dumb billionaire), and it appears being a legit good effort at providing good privacy while retaining "mainstream" usability.

And it has been audited (by one company so far, it seems).

The only concern I have is with regards to battery life (given that it has to maintain roughly as many open connections as you have contacts, AFAICT).

Has anyone here used it? Any opinion?

... So, is no one going to point out that, "simplex" is also the latter half of "herpes simplex"? ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ

edit: downvote all you want (reddit habits are hard to break, it seems), but the usage of Simplex in commercial product lines seems to have fallen out of favor by the mid-1900s... Conspicuously similar to the timing of said STI rampaging through the US population. Couldn't possibly be related, though. (see: link below)

    There's many things named simplex... Doesn't have to relate to Herpes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simplex_(disambiguation)

    "Bro", you're missing the point entirely, cupcake, and your reflexive routine of sophomoric escalation only further underlines the reddit habit observation. Name your silly thing whatever you want, let the market decide if it wants to use something akin to herpes. Your weepy, whinging mouth already belies your choice.
