Compared to some other alternatives, I think the thing it really has going for it is how simple it is. It’s really a drop in replacement for discord, something I actually think maybe my friends that don’t really care about Foss would consider switching to. They’ve told me they don’t want to take the time to learn a new messaging software, I don’t think they’d have to with this.

I used aegis for a long time, switched to protons after they introduced it. Ideally I’d be using something physical though like a yubikey

Read “ad software” and was beyond terrified for a moment
