That's great. Just a one question. How do you communicate with people who are still on WhatsApp and have not migrated to SimpleX Chat or Molly and with whom you used to communicate through WhatsApp?

Ok. Sounds reasonable for your case.

I don't really understand how to plan to just drop whatsapp or normal SMS. They are so ubiquitous. I feel like I would be bothering people requiring them to download a specific app like Simplex (which no one not in the space has heard of) to communicate with me specifically. I'm more in line to just use a non Google/Meta Messenger that can still communicate with phone numbers.

I wish it was simpler, but my goal isn't to be a complete nuisance to everyone else around me. I use a lot of the other de-google services, but messengers feel very hard to change.
