If you already start from lies with the Simplex protocol, what do you expect me to argue with you? You have relied on securemessaginapp's analysis which is totally incorrect. And you show that you have no idea how the Simplex protocol works, end of conversation.
FOLLOW THE MONEY and the Servers! Then the protocol doen´t matter.....
Globalists invest in privacy? SimpleX Chat is an open source messenger, which was conceived in privacy, keeping the anonymity of the users and without access to their data, but, in July 2022, SimpleX Chat secured seed funding from venture capital fund Village Global.

Why not just setup an XMPP server and use a FOSS client instead?
XMMP is not private, metadata is exploitable.
Even if the data server is run by yourself?
The other servers on the network still generate metadata, XMPP was not designed with privacy in mind. The metadata shows who you talked to and at what time. On the other hand, setting up a SimpleX server is even easier and no metadata is generated.
XMPP is not a private messaging platform. It was specifically designed to be an open platform. Different components have been strapped on over time in an attempt to increase its privacy and security, but its foundation is simply not based on the notion of protecting user privacy. It certainly has its uses, but it shouldn't be considered an alternative to platforms that were built on the concept of privacy and anonymity.
