Blows my mind that they are surveilling senators’ phones. GoogleFi was only company to let them know they were.

So embarrassing for this supposed beacon of freedom. 🇺🇸

We need to replace this broken network with one that can't surveil you.

🌶️ Slack UX is superior to Telegram, but apparently crypto bros have anointed Telegram UX as the thing to strive for. 🌶️

When I click this in FC mobile, why does it kick me to my browser?

Has anyone here tried Murena or any mobile phone running /e/OS?

wonder why there isn't an open source implementation of messaging

almost all messaging UX is the same

an open source code base with all bells and whistles with the ability to plugin identity, storage, configure specific settings like retention etc. could perhaps work....

Both @xmtp and Signal are open source, but only XMTP supports plugin identity.

Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

It's so much work. We still have so much to do.

The most important messaging feature is N²

SMS proves this year after year...

Platform-specific messaging is useful to be certain of the identity you are trying to reach.

Twitter proves this year after year...

As the recipient of a tip, I always feel guilty like I don't deserve it.
This in turns makes it hard for me to publicly say thank you because it draws attention to what already makes me feel bad. I'm not sure what happened in my childhood to break me this way...

With this confession out of the way, let me also say thx, @v!

Most of crypto: easy to invest in, hard to get users.

Stablecoins: tons of users, but no clear way to invest.


How ironic: We finally found PMF, but we can’t get upside.

I saw the stable coin pmf years ago and loaded up my bags. I haven't made any profit yet, but I also haven't lost any, so 🤞 🚀
