SimpleX is under attack by the magazine Wired,
But what surprises me is the reaction of the developer Evgeny Poberezkin,

I had my suspicions he wasn’t a real cypherpunk, because he took venture capital funding to begin with, and that was a red flag in itself.
Yeah let’s see how that’s gonna play out but tbh the reaction was just a simple deflection and as long as the product stays open source and self hostable I don’t really care what the founder says.
The Lemmy founders say some weird tankie shit all the time. I got banned from lemmy.ml for saying there’s a genocide against Uyghurs happening in China, they said that’s racist lol. I still believe lemmy as a technology is useful.
The problem is just when the VC kicks in and starts demanding shitty stuff that’s gonna ruin the whole thing. Probably just a matter of time but until then I believe SimpleX is far from perfect but has a very convincing architecture.
