    You'd think with all the trans programmers out there we would have more tech companies built by leftists...

    But I suppose the leftists are the ones building the platforms for a pittance while the generationally wealthy right-wingers are the ones paying people to do all that work...

    Doesn't matter as much here. It's open source and has passed two audits. Look at the code. Use different servers if you want. Reimplement the protocol if you can.

    No really, please somone do it in go or rust. I don't want to learn kotlin 🥲
