Yes. I’ve noticed this is a lot more common for Mullvad than for ProtonVPN servers.

What exactly is your concern? It’s a decentralized service, so it’s not as if any of your data has to be controlled by them to use it

I would definitely encourage you to edit the link for this post to include the correct one!

And then you use a centralized service by Google to redirect the link rather than just using the link itself. 🙁

Except current methods can never lead to a “superintelligence.”

Sadly University of Florida has also started becoming a sort of “AI first” university 😣

I use it, although not with people who are new to encrypted messaging or who I really need to keep contact with.

SimpleX has great features for the separation of pseudonyms, which is part of why I think it’s the best concept for an encrypted messaging app so far. But it’s not only for-profit, but funded by venture capital. I don’t think it’s going to last for the long term, and if it does, it’ll probably experience a similar enshitification that other services have. Supposedly they’re going to profit by allowing businesses to pay for their service, but I doubt that they’ll actually make much money from that.
