I'd say the real first is Signal tbh, but not taking anything away from SimpleX
He specifically articulates the problem with Signal in the talk which is collection of metadata (phone numbers).
As bad as it is, phone numbers are a feature, not a bug
No one is saying it’s a bug. Why not Signal?
A feature can be turned off. Phone numbers are mandatory for a signal account
