 I think of you want to promote privacy coms, then you shouldn't be recommending nostr at all. You should be teaching opsec.

 What’s your opinion on Simplex and Threema for privacy coms ?

 Simplex seems to be the most promising. It's be great to see a nostr client integrate simplex instead of the best devs trying to hack around how to make nostr Dms work and be private. 

I mean if you need private coms, you should just use pgp. It's... Pretty good.

 meta?

 I didn’t mean for integration with nostr in particular. Just in general. Do you think they’re both private enough for messaging?

 I actually don't know of the second one you sent and I don't have enough experience to say for sure on simplexx. I like simplex a whole lot more than signal though.

 Thanks! This was my thought. From what I’ve learned so far, threema seemed like the most secure one. And very functional. I use it with family as a daily driver 🫡
