Is there anything like a SimpleX group chat to join for us to talk, or should one be started?

    Why is this not linked in the sidebar?

    edit: No matter what one thinks about the privacy aspects of Signal: If its an official discussion group of this community it should be in the sidebar - just like the Discord group. I therefore assume it’s unofficial or maybe not even related to this comunity?

      IMO because it’s a Signal group and you can’t separate user profiles and have to register with a phone number (yeah I know I know you have a username now). Some people including me won’t join therefore

          They force you to give them your phone number. No phone number = not allowed to use Signal. Plus, Signal uses servers from Big Tech (just search for it on reddit).

          XMPP (mainly Snikket) is the best lightweight option.
