    2. They think money is key and throw large amounts at their consumers
    3. All source code is closed
    4. They are based in USA

    Like what another person said, hate is a strong word. But when it comes to Big Tech, I’m all for the word.

  • I have used SimpleX Chat for a few months and the following made me switch to XMPP:

    • It literally drains my battery on my Google Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS. I had to charge my phone 1 time per day. Before and now after, I only need charge my phone 1 per 2 days.
    • It is “impossible” for me to connect SimpleX Chat on Linux. Haven’t tried on Windows because I don’t use that shit due to privacy reasons.
    • If you’re in a voice call and goes back from the call to send something in the chat (like a picture), the call will end. You are not allowed to use the chat while you’re in a call in SimpleX Chat.
