The fact that you decided not to educate yourself on a topic you're literally critiquing speaks for itself.
I once again ask that you educate yourself before making any further claims; otherwise you look like a fool.
I also see you have preconceived notions with your assertion of BCH somehow being a "shitcoin".
For other CHIP sites, look at the forum I linked previously. It is literally THE site where CHIPs are discussed.
Again, bch.info is a random informational site. As is bchfaq.com, as is bitcoincash.org, as is thebitcoincashpodcast.com.
bch.info simply aggregates links to CHIPs and other specifications within BCH (commonly posted on github). This is similar to sites like getmonero.org or monerodocs.org. Would you claim XMR is centralized because of that?
Obviously, no. To quote getmonero.org "the Core Team manages and maintains infrastructure where centralization cannot be avoided". That is in the same essence of BCH minus the invite-only Core team as it is more of an individual/collaborative effort sometimes funded by the community via flipstarter.
Does a smaller group of people contributing to a project make it centralized? (The answer is no, especially when that community is growing day by day)
No community is large at the beginning.
What is your definition of decentralized if not the literal definition of decentralized?
That's clearly not official. That is literally just some random guy who made an informational site. There are plenty of them. Please just do the tiniest bit of extra research before you make any further claims.
Decision making is not made by one person and it often takes years before a CHIP is considered. All Stakeholders are involved in the CHIP process including (like I stated) node authors, in which there is no majority node which basically controls the network.
Decision making being done by multiple unaffiliated people from multiple different teams on different node software and, CHIPs taking multiple years and iterations to achieve consensus seems to fit the definition of decentralized governance pretty well.
The only "centralized" aspect of the CHIP process is the fact that discussion mostly takes place on a centralized platform (which can be manipulated to skew Stakeholder opinions).

There is no official site, no official dev team, and no official software. This is all common knowledge in BCH. I advise you educate yourself and DYOR before you make any further claims.
Old comment, but i'll reply anyway.
Regarding decentralized governance: There is no official repository as there are multiple differing node implementations. You will find that neither one holds a significant majority consensus. Especially when compared to BTC or specifically, Bitcoin Core. Each node author is significant in regards to CHIP.
As a matter of fact, pretty recently, an outdated node implementation was able to garner development funds via Flipstarter in order to keep it in consensus. Nodes are actively funded by the community in order to keep decentralization.
BCH at this point in time very well does fit the definition of Decentralized. It is not misleading.
Also, +1 for 0-conf on XMR.
From what I've researched, Beeper's servers are only used when you use their push-notification service as it's not possible to use Apple's own push notifications(obviously). Everything else is done locally (encryption and what not). You don't even need an Apple ID, just a phone number.
The backend code is already open source, however their app isn't, so there is a bit of trust involved. Also, the app isn't free so that sucks. There are plans to open source it though.
You can also try iMessage using the link I sent previously, all trustless and independent from Beeper.
If Beeper decides not to open-source their app, someone capable could definitely step up as once again, the underlying tech is open source.
I advise you to DYOR if you'd like to verify any suspicions, i'm not the best at explaining things.
You may have read the article, but you obviously didn't understand it. Read the third paragraph once more. Your quote refers to the previous implementation that Beeper used.
You're not routing any messages through anyone's mac mini.
Here is the source that Beeper's implementation builds on: https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush
You can run this completely platform independent, without a Mac or IOS device. Try it yourself. DYOR and attempt to verify before you vehemently spout more misinformation.
Read the article. Your assumption is based on previous implementations of I-Message on Android.
Send the address and delete it after you've verified that the recipient is in your simplex contacts. You can verify via security code. You'll know when they use the link. Delete the address afterwards.
I mainly use brave as an alternative browser for when things are acting a bit iffy on Librewolf.
Yesterday I saw their VPN service running on the task manager. Hadn't used brave for a week. Immediately uninstalled.
Battery life is good so far. Nothing special. The screen seems sensitive as well, I can't really attest for anything like mobile gaming though.
Mind you the phone is 120hz, I think I might notice if the touch sampling rate was low, but again, I can't attest for gaming much. All I've played are rhythm games.
Xperia I V, using it how I've always used it.
