simplex doesn't require phone numbers or emails to sign up.
instead you need to scan codes for a trust. it's actually everything I wanted in a messenger. well...I wish they had gifs like telegram.
And how's the spam on simplex?
nonexistent.
unless someone literally invites you to the chat you're not getting in.
unless you literally allow someone to scan your code, you will not be able to send them messages.
Wat? What about public groups?
they are currently in beta but really don't exist.
