    A replacement isn’t a clone

    You know I wasn’t asking for a replacement. You’re suggesting e2ee-first software to people who might not really need it in the first place.

    Personally, when I think about all the quirks and requirements that must be met for some chat to happily accept a new member in a e2ee scheme, I get mad. My daily chats, gifs and cat photos aren’t worth everyone’s effort and discomfort.

    Also, I use WhatsApp not because I like it but because it’s easier than forcing dozens of people to use something else. I hate it because of how it works, and it doesn’t have anything to do with e2ee part (it’s worthless for stuff I use WhatsApp for). I like that it dropped electron though - I value my ram.
