In my opinion this is the best messager for democracy. For receiving messages while offline you can use Briar mailboxes. I would highly recommend this over many other messagers.

    Since Briar can scan each other’s QR code to add a contact, why do you say using the same name with different people make it more trustworthy when you ID can then be recorded or tracked and start to form a web of linking contacts together of who knows who?

      Blogs and forms can have people who aren’t in your contact list. Also it allows you to introduce two of your contacts together.

        Yes, for giving contacts each other’s Briar info. That’s one f the reasons that I say that SimpleX can never be a total replacement for Signal. People on here push SimpleX hard for privacy and total anonymity and I agree with them, and there’s been a few made up fantasies about the people who run Signal, but I see no way to ditch Signal and only have SimpleX and nothing else.

        I do discourage Matrix/Element and suggest XMPP instead
