Personally I disagree and think that the way SimpleX already has it is the best way because I don't think trying to protect your privacy as much as possible should automatically get you labelled as a spammer, but I can see your viewpoint.

Well spam seems pretty easy to combat. A lot of the groups make you talk to the admins and wait before you can talk, and you can have it so you approve contacts before they can contact you using one of your links. And if one of your links falls to spam, you can just delete it. I'd say spam isn't really an issue.

I know about that and that's why I'm not worried about them having my phone number, but its still a pointless requirement. What if I don't have a phone number for privacy reasons? SimpleX is still better in every way other than simplicity.

Because things are going so well there right now...

At least this one only requires a dialogue box to ask you what age you are when making a user, but this is still a violation and a slippery slope.

Signal is good because it is easy to get others on board because of its simplicity, while having good encryption and security. However, SimpleX is just a better option. No phone number required, the same encryption, you can make a new profile whenever you want and you can have however many you want at a time. The groups can hold thousands of people. You can have it automatically make a new anonymous profile for you for each contact and group so that you can't be tracked across them apart from your writing style. There are no usernames, you add each other through links, which can be temporary or permanent, and you can add or remove a link whenever you want.

Sorry for that big wall of text, I just spat out all the things SimpleX is better for. I think that it's platform is the future.

Yeah that's basically what I meant I just didn't feel like typing the whole explanation out.

I like Startpage, but I had to switch to DDG because it was giving me captchas constantly for using a VPN.

I'm not going to argue with you anymore. Let's agree to disagree 👍

Thank you so much I'm going to watch it!

Don't 3D printed guns have normal parts except for the slide and handle which are 3D printed?
