MODERATORS
back when I was using reddit, whenever it would be posted in /r/privacy or /r/privacyguides it would get like 30 or 40 upvotes in a matter of minutes. for a service that came seemingly out of nowhere, it really felt suspicious to me.
I thought you could run your own relay?
It's been probably a year since I chatted with the devs (did some testing with a few devices I have sitting around). Biggest issue I had was it required a current version of Android, as I thought it would great to be able to run it on older devices.
I think that's because it's the content for privacy subs. Now that it had been audited and privacyguides recommends it I put my trust into SimpleX
