Interesting, thanks. I think SimpleX fixes a lot of signal's issues, but the only problem i have that it is funded by VC and quite new.

They are open source and decentralized and indeed there are already a few forks.

Yup that's why it seems great :) though i haven't heard of forks. I think i'll wait a little more till i switch to it, just to see if it gets itself in hot water. It's too early to tell
