 linsui | Does anyone here really use SimpleX? I found that someone on I2P really use SimpleX. | 11:37:51 |
| linsui | http://2b9t.i2p/ even uses SimpleX for group chat. | 11:38:57 |
| linsui | How good is it compared to Matrix? | 11:39:13 |
 ofrnxmr | I use it. Its more like a signal alternative than a matrix one | 12:11:52 |
| ofrnxmr | we have a few monero groups going | 12:12:22 |
| linsui | But it doesn't require a phone number. :) | 12:12:30 |

| ofrnxmr | Invites links are obnoxiously long
thats the main monero room, if you'd like to test it out | 12:14:53 |
| ofrnxmr | i recommend enabling
Settings > network > require onion | 12:15:12 |
| linsui | The link is so long which makes me feel that I'm going to open a page with lots of trackers. 🤣 | 12:15:57 |

| linsui | I feel that SimpleX is pretty centralized? | 12:20:15 |
| ofrnxmr | Its the clearnet address, the obion address, the group id | 12:20:35 |

I feel that SimpleX is pretty centralized? You can run your own servers | 12:20:43 |
| ofrnxmr | And its actually seems to be very light | 12:20:57 |
| ofrnxmr | The #1 issue with simplex centralization is the default servers.
if the server you receive msgs from goes down, you lose that connection/contact | 12:21:56 |
| linsui | Because everything is stored on the client only? | 12:22:00 |
| ofrnxmr | Yeah, and your "receive" address (and server) is different for each contact | 12:22:33 |
| ofrnxmr | So if you run your own server, and only use it, then you no longer have the "random" aspect | 12:23:04 |
| ofrnxmr | BUT.. it does work with onion-only servers | 12:23:22 |
| ofrnxmr | So, if you run an onion-only fdroid server, the weak link would be securing the onion keys | 12:23:59 |
| ofrnxmr | Im speaking prematurely, because i am personally pressuring dev to make some UX changes that address some of these issues | 12:25:02 |
| linsui | In reply to @ofrnxmr:monero.social
BUT.. it does work with onion-only servers Tor is good, but it's blocked in my country... So it seems session is easier to use. | 12:40:44 |
| ofrnxmr | Ah.
it technically works over i2p but not officially.
working with dev to allow it | 12:41:52 |
| linsui | 🤣 Looks like SimpleX is also blocked in China. | 12:44:56 |
| linsui | Ah, when I tried it months ago it was already blocked. | 12:45:32 |
| linsui | Sigh, it's still too centralized to block... | 12:46:40 |
| linsui | So it can also works in a federated way? | 12:47:21 |
