Is it just me, or the government of India is cracking down of all end to end encryption apps like signal and element.
Cause I guy who works for the police came to my house and asked whether I use signal and element

Host your own XMPP node outside the country’s jurisdiction, turn on E2EE if it weirdly wasn’t on by default, & don’t trust the big centralized servers they could easily ban. Apparently everyone wants to dismiss XMPP since you can disable the E2EE (since it is a generic protocol for lots of stuff) despite encryption being on by default on every modern client—so there is your deniability 🙃 Unlike Matrix, the average user can afford to run it on a toaster too.
What about Simplex? About equally easy to host and doesn’t even give an option to not encrypt. I use both.
It’s still quite immature & I have my reservations that a big Haskell project can be maintained for the long-term seeing a lot of Haskell failings even in the short-term. It is a promising idea, but I am not ready yet to try it.
fair
I think the above poster is saying the ability to not be E2EE gives plausible deniability, and therefore is a feature, not a bug, in this instance.
I thought the opposite: “well I like the app, I jusy can’t use it unencrypted and not even sure what encryption is!”
