I expected the Turk mentioned earlier here, thanks

Think it more along the lines of Piers Morgan agreeing with you. It’s more factually correct and feels better.

It matters because when you try to build something new, you choose the path of least resistance. I’m not justifying it, I’m explaining it. Also, guess who doesn’t gives shit about E2EE? Average Joes.

I agree with you, but still your idea of garbage is not shared by the general population. Remember that telegram got traction because it falsely claimed that it was secure, or at least more secure than WhatsApp.

Their bot api is very easy to use. I have made some telegram bots because is so easy. Tried to do the same with WhatsApp and didn’t even get permission and api access.

Average Joes use mainstream things, if you want to do something accessible, these bots are the way. Ideally, you want them to download or use an app that does some hand holding. I’m all up to the fediverse but let’s be honest, it has some non intuitive things for today’s user, most were trained to understand and like centralized services. They vaguely understand and use emails today, and mostly for account creation of other platforms.

Disclaimer: haven’t tried to make signal bots, they are a thing?

There are multiple voices, one says “I” while the others respond with “you” if they are disagreeing, or “we” if they agree.

• I should shave
• Yes we should
• No, you shouldn’t. You look stupid.
• I think that’s right, I’m not shaving.

Nature has an automated system when a species grows beyond the limit the ecosystem can sustain. They die, either from lack of food, or because they are hunted and eaten. I believe something like this is going to happen. Thanks to JFK Jr, it could totally be measles or another stupid disease, because fortunately, this people don’t believe in vaccines.

Also, have children out of spite, and raise them to actually use their brains, to challenge the system. An vaccinate them, so they are around when the others die. Plant the seed of change in them, make them be a better adult than you. Give them the tools you didn’t have. Cultivate a loving, tolerant and comprehensive pair of folks, teach them to help those in need. Don’t give up reproduction, weaponize it.
