Oddbean new post about login | logout They only really work in practicality. If you have big rooms with a lot of people sending messages constantly and you're away for more than a day, your app will be catching up for 30 minutes before it is fully caught up and that is absolutely not a good experience.
When I was trying to access it via the onion services, I did notice that. But trying to access it over the clear net, I have not seen that occur.
Well, that's the problem, everyone should be using the onion services if you're using it for privacy/anonymity. Session does it by default, and yet it doesn't ever get *quite* that slow. In fairness, Session did get bogged down pretty hard because of massive DDoS attacks a few months back, but when that's not happening, it's a lot quicker. My biggest issue with SimpleX really is how it seems that messages take half an hour to catch up. Otherwise, the other flaws are either subjective or minor.
