Simplex chat is a hardened fork that does not require any phone number and can be completely self hosted

You can quickly spin up new identities to give out, I get the network effect with signal is big but simplex is perfect for this use case so I felt like mentioning it

I'm downloading it right now

[–] Wildly_Utilize 2 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah. We've been using it as our main comms for almost a year and love it

I didn't realize it was a fork. I just installed it from f-droid!

Tried Simplex for a bit, but seemed like there was a lack of channels/groups that were both active and useful.

Can you recommend any resources to get connected with those?

[–] Wildly_Utilize 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I use it for IRL contacts mostly

There are directories for groups, here is the official one (others contain lots of porn)

https://simplex.chat/docs/directory.html

What kind of group were you thinking of?

[–] DahGangalang 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not really sure. I think I want to find groups local to my area, specifically those that would be involved in 50501 type organizing. I want to learn about and get involved in (though I think in a limited scope) mutual aid organizing in my area.

I don't want to say where I am specifically, but groups focused on mid-atlantic of the US would be most relevant to me.

Updated March 2025: Signal has added a few new features since we first ran this story (and removed SMS and MMS text support for Android), which are now reflected below.

That update is a little late. How old is this article???

At least the info is good as of today.

Paywalled.

Can someone provide an archived version?
