Isn’t this exactly what we all ought to want? I could care less that a bunch of peruvians are chatting with a bunch of Chinese via Damus while I’m over here being a dork on Primal. Same with Bitchat Mesh. Get weird, man!

Well no, because sooner or later all these things will need to pay for themselves. Devs will need to earn their own incomes. Infra costs will need to be met.

Scattershot is fun but incredibly cost-inefficient.

pay for what you’re willing to use. I pay for Gigabit cable internet, but not 42 subscriptions to different Internet services. Different open source projects work for me, including, increasingly, Linux.

pay? an app has costs? it's just code running on people's phones
