Jami has so so much potential. I really root for it. Offline p2p LAN messengers are so important and useful.

Proton is a mess

Honestly no.

How do you join a channel? How to start private message? How to setup e2ee? How do I recieve messages when I’m offline (bouncer)? how do I send files/images/video? There’s lots of things to learn, understand and setup

I love IRC but it’s absolutely not usabale for non-tech people

I tell them these. Even the social aspects tha they don’t neccessarily track YOU as a single person but they get concrete data on how to manipulate a network of people or a community, country etc.

They accept these, but none of these convinces them. They go “so what?”

I ALWAYS get the “I have nothing to hide🤣” argument.

And I know that is very stupid but I can’t convince them why that doesn’t make any sense.

What the actual fuck is this timeline that we are living in?
