Amazing. Thank you. Can you search for #RelaySmokeTest123 on your instance and tell me if you get a hit?

I think it’s going to pop, but we’ll still be left with a few survivors that take over 100% of the slop. I’m not sure there’s an end to it really. Similar to how the .com bubble led to the death of a lot of fake stuff, but we got left with a larger and more centralized internet regardless.

Signal is probably your best bet but it’s only mostly open source. Element/Matrix is another good option if open source is your concern.

Everyone knows the world is fucked at the moment and the future is looking pretty grim. I think allowing yourself to be happy when you can benefits other people around you who are trying to feel the same. I think it’s ok to be both aware of what’s going on and be kind toward to your friends and community (in addition to being kind toward yourself). It’s literally the only thing most people can do, and it’s better than letting the powers of the world break you down over something you probably have no control over.
