There are no "free" messenger in this word. They all need money to run - websides, employees, Offices, ect. If "Big"-Money is involved it won´t end good. OpenSource doesn´t help because you can´t check if the server-code really runs on all relays. A few relays with an Metadata-Collector and your privacy is gone!

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.
