Apparently the Senate is not enough and we need to cede an entire other branch as well to the minority. That’s apparently fair…

Yep. As someone in the States, I basically stopped using it. It at least worked well to get people on it here and anything with them was encrypted.

I think it’s still very relevant to everyone else. An open standard is better than a closed system like WhatsApp.

One day we’ll wonder why we let so much get tangled up in single companies. You’d think Twitter would wake people up.

I don’t know how much better going to another closed system is. AFAIK it’s only Google running these servers and only their implementation.

Seems it was temporary maybe?

I add .rss (note the period) and it works fine.

That’s where I’m at. Don’t care that it’s not FOSS or the Dev charges. I just wouldn’t support an app that puts trackers and ads on a product that inherently doesn’t. Putting it behind a paywall wouldn’t bother me a bit.

That said, that’s why I don’t use it nor support it but don’t give a shit if someone else does.
