     @praveen the way I think about that is that there are other tools, like @cwtch, that are in a similar space and provide similar functionality – or are working towards it.

     Instead of supporting SimpleX, whose founder seems to be a far-right libertarian conspiracy wingnut, I choose to spend my attention and time on tools that do not come with that kind of baggage.

     Because we both know SimpleX will never get any functionality that would in any way impede the far-right libertarian wingnuts.

     • SimpleX Chat

     @rysiek @simplex I'm conflicted here, I like Simplex Chat as a software and what it provides - a unique hybrid approach that takes good elements from both peer to peer and server client models to come up with a usable private messaging system. But I don't want to be part of a community that promotes these politics. I think Simplex Chat as a project should come up with its own political values what standards its community members can expect.

     • SimpleX Chat

     It's been a few days, and while @simplex found the time and inclination to respond in the thread by accusing those who documented sus stuff their Xitter account RT'd of "hate" …

     …somehow they never got around to either confirming or denying that this is their founder:
     https://xcancel.com/epoberezkin

     Are his views (transphobia/transmisia, climate denial, anti-immigration, anti-vaxx, looking at just a few first tweets) a bit too much?.. :blobcatcofesip:

     @rysiek "we retweet what we agree with"

     well there's the problem right there

     these right wing guys really want to have their cake and eat it too when it comes to sharing their odious opinions and still having everyone want to associate with them

     like personally if I had my own company and decided to use it as a platform to air my political views and people said they didn't want to buy my product because of that I'd say "good don't let the door hit you on the way out" but I'm different I guess

     @rysiek Yes. I've been trying to tell folks for years that SimpleX is a nazi project, and every time their fan cult tries to deny it.

     @rysiek They called it SimpleX ? I do hope none of their posts go viral.
