After clicking on that link, I created a new temporary profile and am now happily chatting with myself, switching to and fro between my profiles 😂
I have nobody to test simplex on, but I'd like to verify its approachability before bringing it to my (nontechnical) loved ones.
So I now have created a temporary profile and an address, and if anyone's interested, I'll be happy to have a quick chat with them:

I mean, choosing a different provider is an important step, but automatically getting your mails out, informing important (or all) contacts and potentially doing that for your loved ones (cause we're the tech support, right? ) seems to remain an unsolved problem.
Hell yeah, I could install astrometrica through bottles as well, so you can count me in 🥳
Hier mein Versuch einer Übersetzung:
Make the switch to the good side every first Sunday!
Our digital lives are controlled by a few over-wealthy individuals. Through their corporate monopolies, people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg dictate worldwide how we access information online, how we discuss issues, communicate, or act. No individual or corporation should wield such unchecked influence, because under those conditions we can no longer live in freedom.

The characters in the comic are terrorists.
Just like almost every depiction of arabs, muslims or people with brown skin in general. My claim isn't that every Arab is represented by this comic. I say that this is the only way Arabs are ever represented, which is racist.
Sorry, but since you have consistently mispresented everything I've said, and done so in a pretty aggressive way, I don't really feel like you're engaging in good faith here. Have a great day 👋

The comic is about anxiety and possibly OCD and a common feeling that nearly everyone has had at one time.
It's true that these are common feelings.
The racist rage bait I was referring to is the casual suicide bombing and musings about naked virgins. Would you agree that these aren't common things that nearly everyone has, but rather racist tropes about brown people?

Looks to me like racist "just-arab-things" rage bait, but am happy to be corrected
Or so you think - dun dun duuuuun
We have Bladerunner style dystopia at home!
Oof wtf?
As well, if you go so far, why exclude killing children? Are you a closeted ethics-mumbler yourself?
I had not considered that, so thanks for pointing that out. Upon checking the comic more closely, I don't get any hint that it's making fun of misogynists, but it's certainly possible.
If so, it's shockingly ineptly done though
