Ultimately any app that offers privacy and anonymity with doxxed devs is at risk of gov pressure. Using simplex now, best there is that I can see

Interesting you say that. No one seems to know who wrote #retroshare which seems to worry some people, but you may be right. Some think the developer of #muwire -the #i2p based client - abandoned the project rather than kowtow to #Govt

I was not aware of either of those projects. Thank you. The way to dev is to dev without a governable structure (no company, foundation, not for profit, etc) and anonymously. Strange to think simple messenger apps may be targets for gov intervention .

It's worth noting, there are completely censorship resistant communication systems, but they're more effort. If I send you the public key by email and then send the private key as a QR code later, no one else even knows the server exists.
