MODERATORS
Sadly, not enough people will realise Matrix is a shitty alternative.
SimpleX is Cloudflare-free. Matrix is not.
Simplex is a project made by a very weird dude who's very weird about his politics, and they are jumping headfirst into cryptocurrency and NFTs. I would have said it looked like a promising project a couple of years ago, but no longer.

The more insane someone is, the more I trust their code. Governments and super intelligent AI have no chance at deciphering code that was delivered direct to a human from God himself. RIP Terry.

Okay that's a solid point.
I'll take delta chat thanks
