For most messengers I would agree but Simplex is designed in a different way. Don't trust a relay you don't run yourself? Don't connect to it. You can chat using Simplex without ever connecting to a Server not run by you. And if you do want to connect to your recipient's relay, just use Tor and there is no evidence of where the message came from.

If the recipient is offline, the messages are sent to relay! And as a rule, only the recipient knows whether they are currently online or offline. TOR is infected by the US government It´s all about Metadata!
