Is there any reference where ThomasV endorsed Blockstream's server?

If it's the link to "Retweet" in the OP, then there's no direct endorsement happened,
it's much more of a bump or news of a new server using a new server implementation though (Esplora?).

Well yes. I'm (gratefully) no user of Twitter, but if T.V. lets that “Retweet” sit for several days on his account page, doesn't that imply that he approves of it?

Also: there's always a certain level of trust required for people to function at all. I have to trust my VPN when they tell me they don't keep any logs. Apparently this Blockstream company also states that they do no such thing. If T.V. is trusting them, shouldn't I also trust them? Until evidence of the contrary...

It's possible, but i wouldn't rely on implicit approval. IMO Electrum retweet Blockstream tweet because Esplora is open-source and you can run your own Esplora server.
