Thanks, never heard of SimpleX, but I will check it out.
But to make an analogy. Bitcoin wasn’t good for privacy at first. But they added features and new coins like Monero were developed with strong privacy.
So I expect there will eventually be a private ActivityPub, either “on top of” or “next to” the current one.
i mean sure, you can modify the standard enough until it’s somewhat secure, but it doesn’t make any sense to do so.
You actively don’t want secure communication channels to be interoperable with insecure ones, they should be kept as separate as possible so there’s minimal risk of leaking the important data.
not sure how this is confusing, simplex is a chat app with privacy as the #1 priority; OP wanted a private alternative to whatsapp, simplex is that alternative.
ActivityPub isn’t good for everything, especially for privacy. Luckily SimpleX exists.

How would simplex even help here? Is the a Lemmy alternative built upon simplex? Or a friendica one?
