The easiest way to understand #license terms is to begin with why, rather than what. The #GNU licenses have been written by #developers and their lawyers for #application by #developers without any aid or assistance from lawyers, for the purpose of assuring these #freedoms to all their #users, and all #users of modified versions or new #programs ... If a GPLād #program can be enhanced with proprietary #code...then intentions of developers to protect usersā rights will be frustrated.

This addresses so many of the drawbacks of IRC while still allowing you to use IRC.
- Multi-device support? Check.
- Retained and synced history across all devices? Check.
- Integrated photo and file sharing? Check.
- No need to maintain your own server or keep your computer on 24/7? Check.

@koetpi how are you finding /e/ - I have heard some pretty bad things about it.
@amolith I'm hopefully getting the Pixel 3a soon. I'll put GrapheneOS on it obviously. That being said, PinePhone would be my second choice.
@andreas the developer of that site actaully got in contact with me while they were making it.
