Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

Do you want anonymity or ease of use? You won't beat anything that uses actual phone numbers for mass adoption. You won't find an app that allows for true privacy that uses actual phone numbers. These things are mutually exclusive.

If I understand you correctly, I agree with you.

My point is I really like SimpleX for it's arandom anonimity, and I prefer SimpleX, but if someone wants to use Molly/Signal, then I can happily talk to them on there for messaging and call.

I won't use anything else for messaging, those 2 are all I need.
