I definitely agree that secure communication is not political, but my concern is more about that person's ability to break the security or implement backdoors. I'm okay with simplex as a concept (warts and all), but I'd need a different client or at least someone else packaging the software so that they can check the commits before building. For most other people's beliefs I'm not overly concerned with the maintainers trying to maliciously impose them, but people in the maga crowd have completely lost touch with reality, and giving someone like that the sole power to make a git commit and push a client update that can get people killed makes me too nervous long-term. We've seen them literally kill each other for not being hateful enough, and this is a problem that's only getting worse.
