Why is Simplex based. Damn this is cool.
However, I do wish they would adopt a more decentralized approach like Jami and Briar. It is very hard to get right but it has so many benifits.
Yea, my main concern for now is that most people are using default servers. Good thing their servers are very easy to host, but still, power of the default. I would really like to see lists of public servers, like what we see now for XMPP and Matrix. The thing is still young, so looking forward.
I just self host
I self-host too, that wasn't the problem, it's that there is the power of the default. Just like with Matrix. You can ask a friend to use your server or another one and delete the main ones entirely, but chances are you won't be avoiding them in a random chatroom.
