Why would I want to use the client? :S
I’m just here to criticize cryptographic open source software. I don’t actually want to use these programs.
It does a lot of good, actually.
If you know the alternatives suck, you can organize to make an alternative that doesn’t suck. Some of the existing ones might be a good starting point, but if you care more about usability than privacy or federation, it will inevitably become another Discord when the law man comes.
That said, the userbase of Discord is sufficiently large that some among you have the technical chops to replace it.
I agree with all of this except that his standard seems to be perfection, when a lot of us are not looking for a Signal alternative, but a Discord alternative, which it is. It’s still better than Discord.
