    I’ve tried using simplex but it’s simply (ahah) too slow for groups

    I like it privacy wise but I think it’s better for small groups (<10) and 1 on 1 chats

    Big chats are kinda a scam anyway, they should be forums lol

      Agreed any relevant information just gets buried. I can’t stand how some communities have been switching to Discord. You can never find anything, its a total mess.

        Pay attention to the series finale of “I’m a dumbass who makes assumptions”

        Guess what…maggots use Telegram and signal and I still use them. If an app is not going to offer a group (piracy) that I am looking for I’m not using it.

    Simplex destroys battery life. Like absolutely drains the shut out of your device. I want to like it but that’s a huge issue.

        No but it requires a wakelock via Notification. Meaning it will never doze

          Huh, that didn’t really work on my phone when Telegram tried to do it [meaning I still didn’t get notifications (fucking Huawei)].
