 Thoughts on @keet_io vs @SimpleXChat ? 
 Works well. Can be challenging if you have multiple devices.  
 Which works well, both? Prefer one? 
 SimpleX works well. Challenging with multiple devices  
 It depends on the level of risk of the user. Many are happy even with WhatsApp. 
 Agreed. Still curious the specific pros/cons between Keet and SimpleX 
 Use both a couple of times.

Keet, I couldn’t contact anyone and try.

SimpleX I tried it and used it for a couple of weeks but it had a lot of lags and the groups were not doing well. 
 Curious how long ago and if any better now.
I’ve used SimpleX and found it worked well. 
 The time I used SimpleX seemed like a good proposal. The issue like everything is the number of your contacts who are willing to use it. 
 I reckon ppl gonna be more and more willing as time goes on 
 Keet isn't open source, is it? I'll wait for confirmation on that, but it does sound cool. Definitely watching it.

I dish out incognito profiles to pretty much everyone, then change their display name to keep track. 

I have successfully backed up and restored to a new phone, also. That went so smoothly that it scared me. 

Calls sound good with a little manageable latency. 

iOS users have had some weird issues with notifications and uploading files, but nothing permanent or serious. 

I had an issue once with groups and messaged the team. They replied right back with some troubleshooting questions and guidance.  
 100% SimpleX. It's far more reliable and private than Keet. SimpleX explains on their website the issues with P2P designs. https://simplex.chat/#comparison-with-p2p-protocols
