That's how encrypted messagers work. Anyone can use then for any purpose. It is actually very reassuring that it has become so popular. Just to be clear I am not endorsing Neo Nazis.
Also I like how Simplex Chat doesn't have user facing identifiers. (People can't DM you)
The only concern I have is the public group chats but because I don't use that feature it isn't a big deal for me personally.

This is false. However, you must generate an "identifier / group / channel" for them and share that link out-of-band to them." Basically it means nobody can slide into your DMs unless you yourself consent to it and forge a connection with them to do so. It does offer a way to invite other users to chat; but the other user must consent as well...which makes it far safer usually.

I have also seen Telegram groups dedicated to drug trade migrating to other platforms such as Signal.

Blaming a privacy respecting app for a minority group is lame af. That's how we lose all personal freedoms.
Tewowists & paedophiles.
Agreed.
Without concepts of privacy; things will soon fall into fascism.
privacy respecting? telegram!
is that sarcasm or misinformation?
They are presumably referring to SimpleX. Although I don't actually see anyone blaming it for the existence of Nazis.
Telegram is not private
