I truly did not think my reply would illicit so many
responses. I wish to offer my apology. In my statement, I
never suggested using any proprietary means of
communication or any proprietary software whatsoever. All
references to anything proprietary were of an ironic
nature. I am a long time privacy advocate and myself run
Linux - Debian to be precise - on my desktop.

I do tend to be what is considered by many as overly
enthusiastic in such matters. I also tend to write as I
think and speak so it can be difficult to understand the
full meaning of my written words as they do not have the
inflections that speech has.

So, I was in no way suggesting abandoning any means of
communication in use by a community in which I am an
infant. I was, however, saying that anyone who would enjoy
using a fully open source chat client that is able to
encrypt communications and also able to send said
communications over the decentralized Tor network for
further privacy enhancementhandles look at ChatSecure, for
use whenever and whatever they wish. Any references to any
other clients were made in jest, even Signal, though it
was quite subtle, hidden in the context of it not having a
Linux client.

Again, I was not suggesting replacing any system within
this community. I've no reason whatsoever nor, imo, any
right whatsoever, to do so. I do feel I've the freedom to
openly express ideas I may have regarding issues of
privacy and / or security, which are the very reasons I
was initially drawn to the OpenNIC community.

࿊ You can't honestly be serious about moving away from IRC
࿊ and the inconvenience it would cause to people? Is there
࿊ any justification for leaving IRC? Freenode has SSL, we
࿊ have no problems with spam, there is no reason for OpenNIC
࿊ to do its business in secret, people will have to leave
࿊ extra closed-source programs running at the same time,
࿊ which might not work on Linux and for what? FOR WHAT?
