SimpleX (self.privacy)

Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

Yes, there's no desktop provram for SimpleX. I don't know if due to SimpleX constantly being improved, there is inadeguate resources to build a desktop client.

I find the best desktop messeging programs for consistency are all on Windows unless it was originally designed as a federated platform.

I'm considering using Signal on FreeBSD if I'm going to messege on computer, it's in the ports system to build it. It seems OpenBSD haz the libraries for it but not the full desktop client.

Linux is too chaotic for my liking for what works and what is not consistently stable.
