SimpleX Chat – Many suggested this and I will explicitly recommend against it due to the founder's positions on various topics. This includes being anti-vaxx, believing COVID-19 was a hoax, trans- and homophobia, climate denial; In the SimpleX Groupchat he's also been seen basically bootlicking trump a couple times, but I've lost receipts to that.

I did not know this. I've seen people recommend SimpleX on lemmy too, but probably they didn't know.

Is that it? We stop using better programs because we disagree with the creator's views?

What a disgusting, childish world some of these people live in.

Yes, unfortunately that is the current reality. Note also the subtle hints this article points to: if you disagree with any of the tenents of our clique, you're evil. In this case, Matrix uses capitalistic toolsets, which implies it is evil, and you should rather use an unfinished alternative because it's made a by a trans person which is virtuous.
