  • who needs to keep changing a chat program? IRC has been around since the 1980s or so and still works fine.

    some people like texting their family who doesn't use IRC, and they'd rather not send messages in plain text for one reason or another.

  • Sure, Signal can't give out the contents of messages, but it still has the chain of contact.

    it doesn't. they've been ordered to hand over data multiple times, and the only thing tied to the phone number they have is 1. time the account has been created and 2. last time the account connected to the server: https://signal.org/bigbrother/

  • "Idiot" is a slur that roughly means the same thing

    "idiot", "moron", "cretin" and "imbecile" were all medical terms once and described different levels of intellectual disability, but they fell out of use and are now considered offensive. language changes, and context is important.

  • oh neat, we mainstream now

    not related because I don't listen to hour long podcast episodes, but I've been thinking for ages how someone like MKBHD hosting their own Mastodon instance could really solidify the Fediverse's presence. I bet a big chunk of his audience would be willing to spend a dollar in order to get an @mkbhd.com or @matteblack.com or @24fps.com or whatever handle, too.
