Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal and SimpleX are all centralized, pro-censorship, and easy targets (honeypots) for governments.

Nostr DMs with throwaway npubs is the way to go if you want a truly decentralized, private, censorship-resistant messaging.

SimpleX is not centralized or pro-censorship.

SimpleX is VC funded by Bill Gates, Mark Zuck and others. Most users are using the default SimpleX servers. They are pro-censorship just read their blog.

That funding doesn't sound right but ok

So, hypothetically, if that VC wanted to stop you from using any open source project, all they have to do is donate?

VC funding by anti-freedom anti-privacy bilionaires is a huge red flag in my book.

Wtf? I'm going to check that. But I assume all messages are encrypted, so they "can't" read the body content only metadata?

Is it more secure to have your own Simplex server or is the encryption the problem?

It's always better to self-host your stuff.
