Quite litterally an ad hominem fallacy. Regardless of the founder's questionable moral character, SimpleX is still one of the most private and useful messengers out there. You can't deny the quality, especially when all the code is open source and auditable by anyone who wants to put real effort into discrediting it.
I never questioned it and actually believe it’s currently one of the best (minus some problems like link previews not being generated through a proxy, multi device sync, or file compression)
I’m just disappointed with the news. I would have gladly donated to help with development but now that I know who I would be funding, I’m not so sure anymore
