    That’s how encrypted messagers work. Anyone can use then for any purpose. It is actually very reassuring that it has become so popular. Just to be clear I am not endorsing Neo Nazis.

    Also I like how Simplex Chat doesn’t have user facing identifiers. (People can’t DM you)

    The only concern I have is the public group chats but because I don’t use that feature it isn’t a big deal for me personally.

      (People can’t DM you)

      This is false. However, you must generate an “identifier / group / channel” for them and share that link out-of-band to them." Basically it means nobody can slide into your DMs unless you yourself consent to it and forge a connection with them to do so. It does offer a way to invite other users to chat; but the other user must consent as well…which makes it far safer usually.

    Blaming a privacy respecting app for a minority group is lame af. That’s how we lose all personal freedoms.
