  • I didn’t compare it to signal. I just asked if that was the facts of the situation.

    If I were to compare it might be to the topic of this thread which I can self host and thus control.

    However, since you opened the door on signal I’d comment that the entire signal org would have to go down for that to happen, not just a few servers. Is simplex managed by a large well funded entity that is unlikely to fail or are the servers more mom & pop setups? What happens if Kurt Cobain wakes up one morning and shuts down his server?



  • But those are still identifiers linked to you and in a global space because it says multiple servers need to know how to route data.

    Nvmd: seemingly if the server hosting your queues shuts down you lose all contact, so your UIDs are shared but only to a specific set of servers you choose with the drawback of fragility. Seems like someone else shutting down a server kills your contact list?
