Does anyone use SimpleX chat? Why or why not? Is it actually tangibly better for privacy than say, Signal, for example? (lemmy.ml)

Well, I have it installed, if it counts 😅.

I think SimpleX wins in privacy/anonymity:

it doesn't require phone number, and doesn't have user identifiers
it's decentralized, and you can connect to selfhosted servers without recompiling the client

Self-hosted servers are usually pretty identifiable is my problem with this. Signal can afford the legal teams to fight court orders and has adequate infrastructure in place for plausible deniability.

A vast vast majority of lusers won't have the resources or skillsets needed to properly set something up.
