The privacy-focused messaging app arose from a fringe culture that emphasized individual autonomy and skepticism of authority. As it tries to go mainstream, can it escape its roots?

      Well this is interesting. I hadn’t heard of Beeper before. Many years ago I used Trillion (I think it was) as a chat aggregator. It fell apart pretty quickly, but Beeper looks promising. I signed up for their wait-list. We’ll see what happens.

        Trillian. It’s named after a character in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.

        A bunch of Matrix bridges on one platform, with some extra funding. It looks cool, but isn’t lifechanging. It is designed to (hopefully) make it easier to use, but if you don’t care, you can set up the bridges yourself on your own matrix server.
