In case you didn't listen to the podcast I mentioned above: Global Village does not make any decisions on operations of SimpleX or the other projects they fund. They just throw money at small projects that look somewhat promising and hope that in a few years that paid of.

No one is stopping you from running an instance yourself, in fact I run one myself DM me for connection string.

That's all very well, but how do you verify it? You cant. I have worked with VCs and trust oriented VCs. They will subtly control the choke points if something grows. When it comes to VCs adjacent a well meaning open source project, "Trust, but dont verify". Is not a good option. Running your own is a good option, but hard to get traction. That's all I was pointing out.

I am not sure what you mean? Simplex server is like a Nostr relay or a Monero/Bitcoin node. It's easy to deploy. And from there on you connect to the network via your own .onion address.

Your devices only connect to your server/s.
