@cquenelle Maybe that's the way it works from the server's POV, I haven't looked too closely into those details yet. From the perspective of using the Android app, it's just pick a display name and share an invite link or QR code with the person you want to talk to which establishes a two way chat.
@satch Yeah that's always the struggle with these kinds of messengers. It's not perfect but I think Signal strikes the best balance of all the ones I've tried. I will say though that Simplex's Android app is surprisingly easy to setup and use considering how it works.

I just installed SimpleX. Very nice from a user POV. Less bloated than Element, which is what I use day-to-day.
However, I want to see if I can switch away from the default servers. obviously, it’s not a privacy issue, but what is the point of decentralization if everyone uses the default servers.
I read about SimpleX and I liked its focus on metadata-resistance. Is there however any GUI client for desktop GNU/Linux or *BSD?
Not last I checked unfortunately.
There are indeed GUI desktop apps for SimpleX :)
Simplex Chat — Is anybody else familiar with Simplex Chat? I just started checking it out a couple days ago and it seems like a neat little messenger. It reminds me of a kind of middle ground between Signal and Briar.
