    (People can’t DM you)

    This is false. However, you must generate an “identifier / group / channel” for them and share that link out-of-band to them." Basically it means nobody can slide into your DMs unless you yourself consent to it and forge a connection with them to do so. It does offer a way to invite other users to chat; but the other user must consent as well…which makes it far safer usually.

      In other words, it’s the same effect as when you make separate identities to share with different contacts on any messaging service. SimpleX has adopted that as the normal way to to operate.
