Oh dear god. Still missing the point. You are not compiling yourself the client and just blindly install binaries onto your personal phone You *can* host a server but realistically you don't, nor do 99.99% of the users. Yes, it is an improved mouse trap despite the very obvious red flags everywhere. Congratulations, and enjoy the cheese!

no dude your "point" is Russian dev bad and muh VC monies. nobody compiles the app themselves, that threat isn't different on nostr either. the security models of SimpleX and telegram (if telegram could be said to have a security model) are completely different. so what, you're worried they're going to distribute a malicious build. why is Simplex a bigger risk for that than anything else?
