There are no "free" messenger in this world. They all need money to run!
Simplex Chat got
370.000 Dollar Venture Capital from Village Global
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/simplex-chat
means from: Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates = Big tech is already involved with SimpleX Chat!
And even if you ran your own server they will still route your messages across Big-Tech Clouds and can collect your IPs = metadata!
It don't matter since the code is open source & pretty damn solid both server side & client side
There again is something we need to trust on Threema's side .. You know even nostr:nprofile1qqsgydql3q4ka27d9wnlrmus4tvkrnc8ftc4h8h5fgyln54gl0a7dgspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhx6mmnw3ezuur4vgkhjsen put a pretty sum to help nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wchsx06t26
Also with the IP tracking pretty hard now they have nostr:nprofile1qqsgmff9zpdwhldyelnne99xafacy7a0xxwgydw7vnmsrmvy8h5257sppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0wxv9gq nodes as well ..
But like with Tor browser or nodes relays if only governments run it they could probably track something so help decentralized the internet 😅
Make a traceroute on you SimpleX Server you are connected with and you will see that you messages go to american Cloudproviders!
its the same on here all depending on how people host there shit ..
but as like here you can change Relays to FLUX nodes or your own if you want and it dont..
but again like with TOR all good will get taken over if we dont care to host it ourself
