Yeah, Simplex is reliable. My point is that if I have a conversion with my SO on one device and want to continue on another, I can't really do that. So messages will come to one or another. When I tried it, they had a CLI tool to get that working, but that's not going to be acceptable for my SO.

So I went with Signal. It's easy for my SO to use and has strong privacy protections.
