Where Soatok goes over why checklists are meaningless when trying to figure out if something is private or just for comparisons in general.

I actually do endorse SimpleX. While it does lack a lot of user features you might enjoy in other messengers, it does do the security/privacy part right. While not having as many auditors as signal, there have been enough to form an opinion. The fact that it is foss in the first place gives an advocate for their transparency. It’s also double ratchet E2E enrypted, comletely anonymous, practices perfect forward secrecy, and even offers Tor proxies; which is more to be said than most messengers.
The only good argument I’ve seen against it is that it isn’t federated or P2P, which is a discussion on the centralization of power rather than a security/privacy issue outright
A big thing they could do to convince more of us is to set up a transparency report like Signal has, so we can see any requests for information or legal orders they get, and their replies.
