What about Simplex? About equally easy to host and doesn't even give an option to not encrypt. I use both.

I think the above poster is saying the ability to not be E2EE gives plausible deniability, and therefore is a feature, not a bug, in this instance.

I thought the opposite: "well I like the app, I just can't use it unencrypted and not even sure what encryption is!"

It’s still quite immature & I have my reservations that a big Haskell project can be maintained for the long-term seeing a lot of Haskell failings even in the short-term. It is a promising idea, but I am not ready yet to try it.

Not very easy. No sync across devices is a killer.
