Tox is more secure than Signal. Tox is true decentralised encrypted privacy immune to surveillance.

You are free to give your phone number and device identity to a centralised data base that is inherently vulnerable to state intrusion, but don't kid yourself that it is private and secure.

xmpp and simplex don't require phone number neither device id, and you can self-host. But apparently your answer was not for me.

my mistake I thought you meant Signal. What is so good about simplex and xmpp? As a company Simplex is inherently centralised and thus prone to state requests for data.

what makes it more secure? I know signals group messaging isn't great but I thought the ratchet protocol was gold standard

For Signal you provide your phone number to use it. With Tox you don't. Tox is entirely decentralised. Signal isn't.
