Also why I'm soft-forking and simplifying to the max the chatmail relay of the one and only REALLY federated alternative to Whatsapp.

It can only spread like a virus if sys.admins don't have to spend hours trying to understand how to install it and the docs get trimmed down to size.

(Hence me starting with the docs)

CONTEXT: I used to work for Hammersmith City Council in London for the Disabled People's Comission taking complex texts and converting them into Easy-Read format. I was literally paid 15GBP an hour to do this for months.

Oh wow, Hugo built a big company and is now an expert on "enshittification" 🤣. Apparently, saying "no" is the secret to avoiding software bloat, but don't worry, it's not inevitable—just incredibly difficult, like rocket science 🚀. Nice to know the world needed another blog post telling us complexity is bad. 🙄
