Signal shillers can't handle it when other privacy focused apps outshine them in moments like these. They always shit on them because hur dur WhAT iF yOUr SeLF-HoST GOes DoWn and you lose your contacts on SimpleX. Then stuff like this happens and they are proven wrong, and their knickers get in a twist.

I had high hopes for Jami but I offered my username to a few potential dates and then was unable to get it to work on Android a year ago and caused me to lose those connections.

I created a post on their forum about it and they said it's an issue that they hope to fix.
