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.

I get what you're saying. My personal contacts are all already on SimpleX and Signal. Email is for business things and contacting companies, that's why I do it all on computer for reading through form letters, documents, blah blah blah, with a proper monitor from emails that are 5 paragraphs, 8 paragraphs long.

Yeah, that's not what delta chat is for.

I feel that this would have been perfect 10 years ago. Before everyone gave up their phone number to Whatsapp/Facebook.

Yeah, delta chat would have been great 15 years ago when email was all people had for communication.

I only use phone for messaging and calls. No videos, no multimedia, no websites, or very rarely, no email, all of that is done on one of my computers when I can have multiple programs going.

I use multiple screens for my workflow and phone is another screen in there as well. Computers are for work and entertainment, communications is on phone.

After I get Signal going on FreeBSD that will be one less thing to need phone for.
