The biggest is definitely the fact that a vast majority of its relays are run by the company, which is a for profit company that kinda just showed up out of nowhere. The tech itself seems solid but it's concening to me that the relays are overwhelmingly run by the company. Also, unlike Session, itd be incredibly easy for governments to set up honeypot relays. If I'm not mistaken, there isn't any onion routing in SimpleX, meaning they wouldn't even need to do a sybil attack to know metadata like your IP.

True, but an overwhelming majority are run by the company. There's absolutely zero evidence that Signal is a honeypot.
No problem! I'm down with people using what they enjoy; as long as they're not using unencrypted messengers or big tech ones (Telegram basically falls under both categories), they're doing good for their privacy. It just irks me when people buy the Signal FUD and rush to act like SimpleX is the ultimate, end-all option haha
