Infrastructure will always be used by evil and good. If it exists. Just like a road. Normal people use them as well as murderers.
If a good encryption chat software exists it will be used. It's necessary for normal privacy and sensitive topics between people but those ones will also use it. Nothing to do about it.
Ywah, but it sucks when malicious actors use it enough to bring attention from authorities who will do eveeything they can to undermine everyone's privacy.
Also extra sad when you realize they didnt care or investigate those nazis before, but will now claim that they cant do their work because muh encryption.
Like everything else, if it's worth doing it's probably worth self hosting.
