It seems useless to me, at least regarding the cybersecurity aspect. Of course, it’s helpful when people ask for my contact information, and I don’t want to share my phone number or email address.

But they still require information that could be used to prove or be linked to my identity for registration, right? This means a hacker could still reveal your IP address, phone number, email, and your passcode. Likewise, the development team can access these as well.

I know I’m overly cautious about my privacy, but that’s just how I am.

        I meant only to address what I specifically quoted. The feature of using multiple identities, separately for each contact, is baked right into SimpleX and works amazingly well.

        WireMin is a massive scam, please don’t use it. It’s been advertised on several Lemmy communities with unsolicited posts and comments, and it promises things it can’t do, like offer any type of privacy.

        When you say “safer” can you elaborate on in what sense you mean?
