MODERATORS
I often see convos on SimpleX that are clearly missing messages, so I'm not sure what that's about. I mean I see people quoting messages that are not visible.
Also I really think they need to implement UnifiedPush before it's ready. It consumes an excessive amount of battery life for this reason.
Also worth noting that the creator is an alt-right loon of the highest order.
What has he said or done?
You'd have to go and look up his Xitter account.
Holy hell! Didn't imagine him being that far right. Always thought the accusations were half made-up.
It's always sad to see promising FOSS projects taint their image with deplorable political views or behaviour (Hyprland, GNU, GrapheneOS, probably some others). Although I believe in freedom of opinion, I draw the line on inciting violence and hatred against minorities. Also, I can't fathom why he would still use Xitter, when so many better alternatives exist?
