  So one is not open source, the other is not decentralized. Both are equal when looking at your visual, there are only some very minor differences.

    They say they are both decentralized, or I am missing something?

  I’ve never heard of either of these. I’ve got Signal and Element/Matrix. Why should I care about anything else?

    I disliked signal app wise, and Matrix app was a buggy mess for me and the 4 other people who tried to use it as well

    SimpleX was easy to setup and has been for the most part stable for all of us.

    Basically to answer your question, people like different things.

      Except for signal, matrix is also decentralized. I understand what you meant tho. I think matrix still stores user data on servers, but they could be encrypted. Others who know please correct me.

  Looks interesting, yet not open source? What is a d-payment? Some own coin stuff or erc20? Anyhow, I never used any of the two, and I wonder why we need more?

      I’d like Signal to not require a phone number but is pretty much a feature that it uses them. I only chat with people I know and those people sometimes want to call me. Having the phone number as the single identifier is great, else I’d have to maintain more.

      Obviously it’s not good to use a phone number for many other use cases. And centralization etc isn’t great either, except for ease of onboarding etc.

      What I can say is that I’d never use any more private messaging platforms that aren’t foss and federated. There’s too many closed and proprietary systems already on my phone.

    What? Lemmy, the very platform you are currently commenting on, is decentralised and has nathing to do with blockchains at all. Do you think that only blockchains can be decentralised?

  Available on desktop device (Windows, MacOS, Linux), because decentralized network may cause high amount of cellular data usage when connecting with nodes.

  It looks like SimpleX does have a desktop app, it’s just via cli: github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/stable#…

    Latest release has a desktop app: github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/releases

      So how does messaging even work when I don’t have a user id? How does my friend know how to contact me?
