Since I recently ditched all mainstream social media, I was forced to lose a lot of buddies who were nice to talk to but not friends enough to go to privacy-respecting platforms for me. I only have two mainstream platforms for strictly for family/work stuff. I have IRL buddies and friends but my I miss having internet friends
I decided to use SimpleX Chat for private chats. I love it for having no account system, so I don’t need to give anyone my data. Matrix isn’t the best IMO. You either have to use Matrix.org or buy a VPS to use it. On SimpleX you still have servers but you don’t need to trust them because your username and avatar is end-to-end encrypted. To use it, you need just the FOSS app and a QR/link of your friend, that’s it
About me:
- I speak Russian fluently. I can help with it if you need to
- I love China and Mao and Deng and Xi
- Marxism-Leninism
- They/them
For those who are interested, the website is https://simplex.chat/. There are clients for most platforms. I can send a 1-time link over here as a reply, just paste it in the search bar inside the app
Edit: I forgot to say that I’m an adult and will only dm adults. Nothing against minors, but it’s a moral norm
I pasted the code and it didn’t work so I tried scanning the code but it also didn’t work, here is my code see if you can add it https://simplex.chat/invitation#%2F%3Fv=2-7&smp=smp%3A%2F%2F6iIcWT_dF2zN_w5xzZEY7HI2Prbh3ldP07YTyDexPjE%3D%40smp10.simplex.im%2FISSlH4Z2ANVXLARxUviEFuGd7FSSgkUc%23%2F%3Fv%3D1-3%26dh%3DMCowBQYDK2VuAyEAmPHsTgVlWbrKGbYZ-EivnqiCHs_F-bw7owXtD9l8GS0%253D%26k%3Ds%26srv%3Drb2pbttocvnbrngnwziclp2f4ckjq65kebafws6g4hy22cdaiv5dwjqd.onion&e2e=v%3D2-3%26x3dh%3DMEIwBQYDK2VvAzkAKgYfHHm_Bz5UjyUKGC7MrlanF562pmenaj5jl3dsGH4U7sCYwxiukOt3RUE1HjAkBhl7SbknjYg%3D%2CMEIwBQYDK2VvAzkAJM_E9GWDEHgSqqTmrUVia9S2Y6rwcpZwF54_0g0fj6G03ezEEH_ekZ_JowGip3thTjf-TOUsCqo%3D
The links get distorted after you post them. Even DM. Sadly, can’t fix this in any way
What about creating a group than sharing the group link
