Group Chat

Is there anything like a SimpleX group chat to join for us to talk, or should one be started?

SimpleX is not suitable for larger group chats.

XMPP has a few quite popular privacy related public channels: https://search.jabber.network/search?q=privacy

(For those unaware: xmpp participant counts are actively connected users, not like Matrix or Discord that counts who ever joined the room years ago and never came back).
- Define larger groups because I know for a fact that it can do chats of up to at least 1,000 people because I'm in two group chats that have that many on SimpleX.
- I joined Privacy and Security
There is! But it's only in signal

- Why is this not linked in the sidebar?
  
  edit: No matter what one thinks about the privacy aspects of Signal: If its an official discussion group of this community it should be in the sidebar - just like the Discord group. I therefore assume it's unofficial or maybe not even related to this comunity?
  
  IMO because it’s a Signal group and you can’t separate user profiles and have to register with a phone number (yeah I know I know you have a username now). Some people including me won’t join therefore
  
  Don't want to Signal with randoz
  
  Because Signal does not fully respect your privacy.
- I joined there.
