  • Let me start saying that for convenience I adopted Signal. Now, this argument that it validates your contacts is actually something that isn’t the best feature of Signal since it implies that it is requesting and having access to phone numbers.

    I don’t let my number available as my contact, I created the ID and I’m using it in case someone wants to connect with me but that probably isn’t something that everyone is practicing and the fact that they retain my number it doesn’t digest well.

    I’m not sure how is SimpleX nowadays but features like stickers and even some emoticons or message reactions were not possible. Family members and friends would be very difficult to persuade to go back to a very simplistic communication app.

    I always keep an eye in alternatives and if usability reaches a good point we may need to consider SimpleX as the messenger for the mainstream recommendation.










  • Start asking yourself what exactly you will miss from the local events news that you collect today from I.G. and what real value that you are really getting from it and go from there.

    Do you need all that information and anxiety?

    Do you have examples of things that we could help you point where there are alternatives?

    Are you looking for social gathering events news happening around? What type?
