yes, we are working on diversifying the preset operators in the app.

> e2ee protocol is especially designed to be resistant against MITM attacks, you don't need to trust intermediate operators.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. Resistance of ee2e to MITM attacks is achieved by passing some part of the key material out of band - it cannot be achieved via protocol design. If no key material or hash is passed out of band, and all communication happens via operator, then MITM attack is possible.
