About
Speakers' Corner Online is a free-speech community directory on the
SimpleX Network —
a privacy-first messaging platform with no phone numbers, no central accounts,
and end-to-end encryption on every message.
🚀
How It Works
This directory lists community groups and channels that have been submitted by their
owners. Anyone with the SimpleX app can browse, discover, and join with a single tap —
no registration, email address, or phone number required.
- Download the SimpleX app for Android, iOS, or desktop.
- Browse the directory — filter by most active, newest, or search by keyword.
- Tap a community card — your SimpleX app opens and connects you instantly.
- Submit your own group or channel by joining the directory bot and following the prompts.
Your identity on SimpleX is a random key — there is no central account.
Each conversation uses a separate pair of queues, so no one can correlate your activity across communities.

Directory Rules
To keep the directory useful and trustworthy, all listed communities must follow these rules.
Violations may result in removal without notice.
-
Accurate descriptions
Group names, descriptions and welcome messages must honestly represent the community's purpose and content.
-
No illegal content
Communities facilitating or distributing content that is illegal under UK or international law will be removed immediately and reported.
-
No targeted harassment
Groups whose primary purpose is to harass, threaten, or dox specific individuals or groups are not permitted.
-
No CSAM or exploitation
Any content involving the sexual exploitation of minors is strictly prohibited and will be referred to the relevant authorities.
-
Adult content must be labelled
Communities containing adult or explicit material must clearly indicate this in their description so users can make an informed choice.
-
No spam or misleading links
Groups that exist solely to distribute spam, phishing links, or malware will be delisted.
🤝
Community Behaviour & Policy
Speakers' Corner Online is built on the principle that open, honest conversation
makes communities stronger. We encourage debate, disagreement, and diverse viewpoints —
but expect members to uphold a basic standard of conduct.
-
Argue the idea, not the person
Critique opinions robustly — but direct personal abuse, slurs, or sustained aggression toward individuals is not acceptable.
-
Respect community admins
Each group sets its own rules and tone. Follow the admin's guidance; if you disagree with a community's rules, leave rather than disrupting it.
-
No impersonation
Do not impersonate other people, public figures, or organisations in a way intended to deceive.
-
Privacy matters
Do not share another person's private information (address, phone number, real name) without their explicit consent.
-
Coordinate in good faith
Using the directory to recruit members for coordinated off-platform harassment or manipulation campaigns is prohibited.
We believe in free expression and will not remove communities simply because their views are unpopular or controversial.
The line is drawn at content that causes direct harm, breaks the law, or exists solely to abuse others.
📢
Reporting & Contact
If you believe a listed community violates these rules, connect to the directory bot
and send a report with the community name and a brief description of the issue.
We review reports manually and aim to respond within 48 hours.
To submit your group or channel for listing, join the directory using the QR code or
