Hey @simplex is this really your founder? -
Hey @simplex is this really your founder?> I would understand that concern for something like mastodon where algorithm pushing ideas are important factor. But how is that relevant for something like Simplex Chat?

Hey @simplex is this really your founder?@praveen so instead of wasting time on trying to save "such great technology", I choose to promote others building similar tools that happen to not be conspiracy wingnuts and transphobes.
This way not only we get the amazing technology, but we also promote people who can build it in ethical, thoughtful, considerate way.
"Great technology" built by shitty people is sucking the air out of the room. I will not be helping with that.

Hey @simplex is this really your founder?@praveen nobody said anything about identifying them. Stopping them – that depends on the specifics of what's going on.
If a tool is algorithmically promoting content, for example, and happens to reliably promote Nazi content, that's a problem that needs to be solved – or a tool that needs to be ditched.
All technology is political. One might think they're building a "truly neutral" tool, but no such tool exists. Choices made by it will define how it fits into the broader struggle.

Hey @simplex is this really your founder?@praveen the way I think about that is that there are other tools, like @cwtch, that are in a similar space and provide similar functionality – or are working towards it.
Instead of supporting SimpleX, whose founder seems to be a far-right libertarian conspiracy wingnut, I choose to spend my attention and time on tools that do not come with that kind of baggage.
Because we both know SimpleX will never get any functionality that would in any way impede the far-right libertarian wingnuts.
