Fair enough.
When I read it, it sounded like popular groups would be listed.... sort of like the 'trending' feeatures on social networks and stuff...
If I was wrong, I stand corrected... Thanks

That's what I read after installing the app (on a trash device).
Not that I'm using it for anything nefarious, but if you're going to claim 100% privacy, I think offering 'discovery' services for popular groups goes very much against that.
In all fairness, I removed it shortly after discovering that... so maybe other users who have stuck around can clarify... I dont mind admitting I read that incorrectly.
I looked at SimpleX a little while ago... and it was looking fine... until I read that they list 'groups' in some kind of directory... like chat rooms I imagine. Deal breaker for me.

ahhh... the network effect....
I wouldn't use it on anything, but if you have to... i'd start by looking if it's possible to use it from a web browser instead of using an app. This way, the browser app will isolate it from having access to your entire device.
This goes beyond coincidence. This is more like you being a suspect every time some crime is committed. I'm sure in a perfect world you would be proven innocent... but that world doesn't exist and handing over this power to corporate entities and govts only opens it up for abuse.

You could just live boot a linux USB and mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1
