Meredith Whittaker lies*

SimpleXchat & Cwtch were workings completely without AWS existing. Weird how self-hosting decentralizes the net, huh.

Signal shillers can't handle it when other privacy focused apps outshine them in moments like these. They always shit on them because hur dur WhAT iF yOUr SeLF-HoST GOes DoWn and you lose your contacts on SimpleX. Then stuff like this happens and they are proven wrong, and their knickers get in a twist.

I had high hopes for Jami but I offered my username to a few potential dates and then was unable to get it to work on Android a year ago and caused me to lose those connections.

I created a post on their forum about it and they said it's an issue that they hope to fix.
