Just a post to say the goods of using SimpleX instead of others "private" messenger. First it doesn't not require any id, phone number, etc... Can create how many accounts that you want! Decentralized servers, everyone can run and use own servers, and communicate with others! Big privacy side! Look at this one of the best https://privacyspreadsheet.com/messaging-apps. The only negative is the usability of the app, this is why it needs support and be democratize to gain attraits to people, and maybe one day be one the most used messenger app...

This speadsheet desperately needs the first column and row anchored, it's unreadable as is because you can't see what you're looking at.

As far as users go, add the features people are used to from Telegram and other messengers, and make it just as easy to use and it'll probably start pulling in more people. A big one IMO is good discoverability; like an easy to remember username that I can share, and ability to pull in my contacts and automatically add people who are already on it. As well as good group chat and channel support with good moderation tools.

Some things would be easy to improve on too, Telegrams sticker packs for example are a bit of a pain to update, so adding that feature but making it better would be nice.

Also easy sync to other devices without needing to manually backup/restore chats would be a huge plus for any of the alternative messenger apps.
