He says X is for freedom of speech, and it is an everything app

but, freedom can't exist without privacy.

Everything app = monopoly = all in one

I haven't heard of WireMin until now. Looking at their FAQs, they have a lot of promises and not much to back them up. There's a lot of red flags here

  • Closed source. It appears to be totally proprietary, so you can't look at the source code to ensure that they aren't lying about their product
  • They will be introducing microtransactions into their chat app; likely using cryptocurrency.
  • It's full of web3 crypto nonsense. It seems to me the only real plan to fund development is to be bought out by a large investor in the future.

Hard pass on that. Also 100% censorship resistance sounds good at face value until you realize that can easily be construed to mean that nazis are free to run wild there.

Good point, I saw this on their FAQ page too, not sure if it could explain some.
