I remember a time when visiting a website that opens a javacript dialog box asking for your name so the message “hi <name entered>” could be displayed was baulked at.

Why does signal want a phone number to register? Is there a better alternative?

    SimpleX is coming nicely along. Should be good to switch next year once they got their desktop apps polished up

      Simplex has a bad user experience and needs a lot of work before it’s ready for normies.

        Last time I tried Simplex, the battery drain was unbelievable. Maybe I’ll give it another go and see what happens, but I’m not optimistic.
