  • If I was trying to scam you i wouldn’t exactly admit to it :)

    I have been with them from the early alpha stage to present. They are almost releasing into beta. So far, no alarm bells have gone off in my head. They are very open and transparent and have answered nearly every question that is posed to them by the community. I would suggest checking out their discord server and seeing for yourself. Plus, if you join their Discord server, you will get earlier access.

    P.S. I have been using it for a couple months now and it has been working. It is also working for the couple hundred other alpha testers. So, it works.








  • Hey, I’m not sure why we are over analyzing Helix’s message. I’d be interested in the connections you made between covid and digital privacy. It kinda sounds like your saying lack of digital privacy led to the pandemic. I don’t think your saying that. Would you by any chance be referencing the tracking violations by the cdc? Or maybe that China’s zero covid policy and tracking? Maybe I’ve got you wrong but those are the only connections that I have made.

    P.S. Sorry if you have already answered a similar question. I didn’t see it in the text thread.







  • I have looked at it. It looks really cool! However, it does not have the user base of signal and does not have an easy unboarding for beginners. If I’m going to switch a person to an encrypted instant messenger I would do Signal. It is by far the simplest and the most widely used. The more widely it is used the easier it is to sell it to people. For the most secure I go with Session. But I do agree that SimpleX is on to something.


  • I don’t know, I’ve been on their Discord channel from the early stages and they seem pretty legit. Mind you I could be wrong, we all get taken into scams every now and then. I just got into their alpha testing so I will provide some feedback on how well it works. Honestly, it’s fixing a problem that shouldn’t be there. All of these walled garden messengers can’t stand the test of time. We have to switch to something more federated like xmpp or something else. Even signal, while awesome, can’t communicate with anything else. We need some good, secure, FOSS, instant messaging protocols.
