I see you wrote that you’re thinking about making it FOSS. What’s the alternative? Paid software/non-free license + Open Source or proprietary? If you’re low on time and don’t have the capacity to maintain (bugfixes/reports from users) yourself then I say proprietary is a no-go. Then about the license - IMO (though I don’t have hard data on that on hand) people much more likely contribute to FOSS as opposed to locked in license + open source model.

On the opposite - version 8 is great.

None

Google is full of bullshit info too - what’s the big deal?

Carrier has arrived.

What…the… Why?

Thanks for sharing, I’ll check out XMPP too - last time I checked was 10 years ago :D probably a lot has changed

Alright, doesn’t mean it didn’t lower your attention span. Just that you’re less bored :D

Why the switch to XMPP btw?

How did you come to conclusion they weren’t (mostly) correct? The average attention span is getting shorter every generation, maybe they were right all along ;)

Ah okay, thank you for explanation! Also I (wrongly) thought they are from US - thanks again :)

The grabbing part is clear - but “calm your tits” and “stop being such a bitch”? At least where I live both are gender neutral, first one even used most often male to male. Am I missing something? Would it not have been sexual harassment but just toxic culture if it was another cuss? E.g. when you say “motherfucker” you don’t actually mean “somebody having sexual relations with one’s mother”. Can somebody with more knowledge about US legal system explain this to me?

That’s a great example - makes me wonder who actually liked it in the first place to sell it - my boss, his boss and basically everyone I knew hated open space. Where did this scourge originate?

As both user and developer - user CAN contribute but the developer/maintainer SHOULD add the screenshots.

Request to provide a flag to disable it - I really dislike this behavior in apps and I am pretty sure there is accessibility argument to be made here to at least have an option to disable that :)

What do you mean? Being on instance X federated with Y would you like to have the possibility to not see content posted by people from Y? Does the content include comments? (Imagine weird blank spots in the middle of conversation and people replying to non-existing for you message). Would you like to also not see Y in search results?

Good decision! :) Yay for one more user!
