Maybe I should spend less time fixing the inner problems of gossip reliability when so few people use gossip.

Maybe people aren't using it because of something else that needs fixing first.

Or mabye it is just that people don't use desktop computers anymore.

I would love to have usage statistics but I will not violate your privacy.

I personally don't use gossip because the GUI is sluggish and slow.

On Linux, having the directory with the database in a ram disk (tmpfs) makes Gossip run almost perfectly smooth for me .. on my ancient (> 15 years) laptop .. which it ran very laggy on before. (Writing this from a different key/client)

Nicely done. I symlinked my own ~/.local/share/gossip to a faster device.

I forgot to mention .. Gossip - and all other applications - would also run smoother if I just replaced the 5400 rpm HDD with an SSD.

But something makes me stubbornly cling to my HDDs. 🤷
