SimpleX is run by a Trump apologist and "white genocide" believer who believes the protests are fake and/or literally Stalin.
Edit: "all child abuse is horrible. But..." Evgeny is especially concerned about "genocide of young white girls" specifically, wondering "can Elon Musk help?"
Can all of this compromise the SimpleX protocol in any way?
Nope. To add a little context, imagine that someone who uses Lemmy (which is well known to be developed by a team of people not everyone agrees with) to crosspost the same articles to infinity told everyone not to use a piece of well regarded and audited open source privacy software because it's main developer has sided with US republicans.
I kind of figured with the X in the name. (I'm only half joking... But yikes)
Idk why it’s always assholes coming up with good software (shoutout to the lemmy devs lol) but simplex is a great messenger nevertheless. I sure as hell won’t donate to that guy though, like ever.
Fml why.
