matrix

IMO getting Matrix's UI to work like apps people are familiar with is an order of magnitude less effort than any other option, and possibly an order of magnitude better than other options in terms of meeting the design goal of private messaging.

OTOH I don't make UI's ๐Ÿคช

I've been in Signal chats with Tulsi Gabbard's staff.

And no ofc it's not that impressive. They used the app during the Dem Primary campaign trail so all the campaign volunteers used it to coordinate.

Back then I thought she would be a charismatic Dem that could win against Trump -- when none of the Dems (esp. not Biden IMO) seemed to have a chance.

Back then she was inclusive with her political rhetoric. She was the only candidate on either side whose primary message was:

Respect the other side as people, and try to understand their point of view

OMFG I wish I'd hear that from politicians more often. Or ever.

Please forgive me. I was like 9 years younger back then and Tulsi hadn't gone MAGA.

An easy peertube + Ghost spin for content providers could probably be a viable business model

I'd echo this. Syncthing is widely used because it Just Works in so many weird situations. So if it is Not Working, swapping out Syncthing might actually make the problem harder to solve.

"Overextended?"

Dude, Trump just sold hundreds of thousands of Nvidias to the Middle East with a wink and a nudge, everyone in my sphere knows those AI data centers will be renting time to CCCP controlled entities.
