I tried SimpleX but the VPN kill switch on my phone prevents syncing with my computer.
I use telegram primarily as a note taking app with sync features.
Occasionally I send files to friends, so having easy set up for tech illiterate would be great.

So easy to setup my tech illiterate parents could do it.
@Sparkega @mipadaitu So is Quicksy, but it supports the XMPP internet standard instead of being a walled garden like Signal
Now try without a phone number. Go ahead. Try
You can’t
That’s not the point though
I think the intent is baby steps for those who aren’t already privacy invested. Getting parents or tech illiterate to switch to Signal is a win. They weren’t hiding their number anyway.
I currently have a Signal account tied to a sim not in my name. Getting a burner with cash is an option then park it. Or, if you’re lucky enough to live near a payphone and can gain access to the number, you can activate a signal with a phone call.
@Sparkega @delirious_owl
Have you ever used Wire?
Not as good as some others around
Not even that. Go set it up even with a phone number but without a smartphone.
Let’s just say my mom would not be able to do that.
