I use Monal on iOS and it’s worked quite well so far. I admit I just joined the XMPP adventure.

Nobody has ever given me a dime. But they do give me bug reports, pull requests, and the occasional email or toot of gratitude.

I’m not sure if this is legally binding, but it’s a way to prove that someone said “I signed this document and it has not been modified.” While S/MIME certificates are most commonly used for this purpose, getting one (especially for free) is nearly impossible. Signing with a GPG key is just using another tool, one whose ecosystem doesn’t require CA-sanctioned trust; the reader decides which keys are trusted and verified.

Awesome! Now, if only I could move my Mastodon toots or PixelFed photos to another server. Sure, I can redirect my accounts, but then I’m stuck with the old content on another feed.

The project would have to support reproducible builds somehow. For example, supply a Makefile and a hash of the generated executable.

The states can’t even agree on hot dogs and pizza. A meal representing everyone could feed a neighborhood. (And if you do make it, invite me!)
