Haha, they wish we were servile.

Yes, this is why we use matrix over IRC due to e2ee. PGP last we checked doesn't have PFS, sadly.
We remember when we used IRC having to remember all those silly commands for nick bots wasn't exactly good UX.
We said that we don't use Discord/Slack for that reason, so yes, we are disgusted by them too.
Because none of the examples you listed have end-to-end encryption with perfect forward secrecy for one, including IRC. Also, IRC specifically is very confusing to even make a username on and keep it, let alone know how to do anything else on.
We have never used Discord or Slack, specifically because they don't have e2ee, but at least they have, from what we understand, a pretty simple sign up process and good UI/UX.
Too bad a lot of it is using LLM/Machine Learning instead of actual work.
They mean that stories are hidden away in a tab rather than up at the top which would be clearly visible at all times, like other messaging apps do it.
Oof, yeah IRC is awful and sadly we're forced to use some things that still use IRC to communicate and we're not really sure why. There does seem to be a derth of users that have moved with the times in leadership positions of important projects.
We have seen it recently with some things we use and we hope it strongly forces them to consider being wrong or that it blows up in their faces. Because yeah, we agree if you're not moving with the times you will hemorage contributors and then you'll only be left with the 'old guard' or worse people (such as fascists not that two aren't the same many time, heh).
Also, Mozilla is just a really poorly run company to begin with and needs some serious restructuring and to stop doing things that serves only itself and not its users. If it genuinely cared about its users and allowed direct donations to firefox perhaps folks would have fewer problems with it.
Sure, we are happy to help!
That's fair, although really that's unfortunately because from what we know of there's no really good cross platform languages/toolkits etc, so usually we do have to end up with some half-assed solution or folks having to maintain multiple native code bases. Either situation isn't ideal, but until something that provides the option for genuine security and native looks that works well across all platforms is developed we'll be kind of stuck.
Oh, sad. Hopefully we can kick up enough of a fuss to evetually get it moved. We don't know if we agree entirely that developing for only one demographic is always the best idea, but more demographics should be considered for sure, yeah.
No, cele/celes are third person pronouns, not second person, our second person pronouns are y'all etc.
Sadly it won't meet and/all of your requirements, it is pretty barebones on features and doesn't really offer message syncing, you have to create a new account for every device, last we checked.
What do you mean cross platform apps are bullshit?
We don't think more and more messaging apps solves anything really, it just fractures userbases more and more. The best thing folks can do is use the apps that are the most likely for folks to use and work on improving them either by coding for them, or keeping on suggesting and voting for ideas until they get implimented.
Moving again and again to newest app of the week 562 won't make the situation any better, not to mention most of them probably haven't had security audits at all or very sparsely if they have, so their privacy and security can't really be verified.
Signal doesn't lack group video calls. It can support video calling up to 40 devices at once.
These are good, if a little awkward at first. However, we are not sure why the berries one has to be in a bowl, we think we remember from when we were small carrying berries home in a basket sometimes.
