Yeah, but then plenty of spies are personable, you'd never suspect Anna Chapman was actually Anna Vasilyevna Kushchenko until she gets arrested. Actually they almost have to be somewhat personable or they can't do their jobs.

Though in 2017 Epstein was in full swing (I know, Mossad still denies involvement, but I don't trust them and Jizzlane's dad was one of their top agents until they killed him), the AMDOCs spying scandals go back to at least 2002, NSO Group released Pegasus in 2011, that same company (NSO) is made up of veterans of Israeli Intelligence Corps SIGINT unit 8200 which was founded in 1952 (also known as the "Central Collection Unit of the Intelligence Corps"). I don't trust Israel now, 10y ago, 20y ago, doesn't matter, I'm tired of surveillance no matter who is driving.

    I'd also rather have a completely independent messaging protcol, preferably simple - and I am using XMPP for that reason - for almost all developments it'll have to be a tradeoff, sadly :/

    Same here, I'm using Delta Chat. Honestly it's pretty great and has all the features I need from a chat app, and it's decentralized and resilient allowing for multi-relay set-ups. It's not a discord replacement, though.

    no replacement, but discord is so awful due to centralised, unencrypted data hoarding, that I don't miss it

    Yeah I honestly never used it myself, but people seem to want a direct feature replacement without the privacy issues and to be fair Matrix is closer to fitting that bill than Delta Chat. I personally don't need that, so Delta works for me (but even if I did need it, I still can't trust Matrix).

    yeah matrix is closer to discord - then again most gamers (discord is mostly gamers, isn't it?) are totally lost anyways because they still use microslop's fascist OS

    Very true. Though tbf some people use it for other stuff, it's gaming related but the flash cart for my GBC is just made by some Aussie and he runs his tech support on his discord server (kinda like how GrapheneOS does with their Matrix room.) That's the unfortunate part to me, I'd rather both be a phpBB forum lol.
