SimpleX looks very interesting and promising. But is this primarily for people who require security AND anonymity? That's a niche market, albeit an important one.

I can see the case where a journo is gathering info from sources, and those sources need to remain unidentifiable for fear of reprisal or death. We meet face to face and start chatting anonymously.

What's the advantage for me to use SimpleX to text my friend vs Signal? The utility of Signal is clear: there is no casual interception and eavesdropping of my conversations.

My friend already knows who I am, so why would I need (or even want) anonymity for our text messages?
