@thrrgilag it's a problem we've tried to solve for decades. The only thing that's come close to achieving mass federation is email.

@thrrgilag Remember that sharing the code under an open source license doesn't mean someone doesn't own the code and can't make decisions about what gets committed to the official code branch.
The real issue (as I see it) has nothing to do with Open Source, but rather allowing those who use forks of the official Signal clients to connect to Signal-maintained servers. As that's a service Open Whisper Systems maintains irrespective of the code that runs it, they are well within their rights to restrict who can connect to it with what clients.

@thrrgilag I find myself agree with Moxie on this. Federation hasn't worked all that well for these sorts of clients and adds significant UX barriers.

@kdfrawg we all have a role to play in how things got to where they are now.

@c If you haven't adopted a password manager, LastPass is a great option, even better now that they've made their most useful paid feature (cross-device syncing) free. I still plan to continue paying the $12/year.
If you're already spent the money on 1Password, I don't see a reason to change.
Looks like extra time in Israel would have only been earned by being able to speak Hebrew, which I cannot yet do.
