Ahead of an expected launch next year.

Never had a spam message

I imagine unrestricted usernames would make spam easier than with phone numbers. I’m just hoping they have a way to control this.

You still need a phone number to sign up, so there shouldn’t be any increase in spam

SimpleX has no phone number but I get no spam because only people I send a one-time invite code to can contact me. There is no directory of usernames.

Makes sense!

they’re going with numbers along with usernames, kinda like discord to reduce spam. I hope they work.
