Read the article by wired previously and it rubbed me the wrong way. I don't doubt that there are Nazis using it, but I also don't doubt that there are Nazis driving ford cars and I know a big chunk of fediverse traffic is Nazis. Outside of the comment from the SimpleX developers there wasn't any mention of it just being a tool, with plenty of traffic not even going through SimpleX hosted servers. Seems like it was meant to make readers think Nazi when they heard SimpleX. As apposed to reporting on Nazis moving from one tool to a better tool, e.g. Chevys got recalled so many people, some Nazis, bought fords instead.
Nazis also use Facebook and Twitter btw
I bet Nazis also drink water and breathe.
