Completely agree with everything you've written, and will also add that any fork will need to either constantly keep up with and stay compatible with the upstream Lemmy repo, or if the fork decides to make breaking changes, it will need to port over security and other QoL changes that upstream gets.

Reminded me of the very campy movie Stealth where an AF AI plane/drone goes rogue. I hope they have lightning strike protection on these things!
I'm really excited to try out CS2!
I have really fond memories of hours spent on CS, CS 1.6 and CS:S when I was young, and then CS:GO with some old friends during the pandemic. The previews look cool, and seem to match the nostalgia factor with modern lighting and graphics.
That's an interesting idea. I self host a bunch of things, but I don't think I'd wanna go through the trouble here. Maybe some day I might explore it.
@Display [email protected] is right, confirmed via their official FAQs: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp
When sending and receiving Signal, iMessage and WhatsApp messages, Beeper's web service acts as a relay. For example, if you send a message from Beeper to a friend on WhatsApp, the message is encrypted on your Beeper client, sent to the Beeper web service, which decrypts and re-encrypts the message with WhatsApp's proprietary encryption protocol.
How do you mean? I'm actually kinda interested since I have friends on WhatsApp and Signal. Seems like it would make things more convenient by combining both messengers.
Is there a downside I'm missing?
Edit: they break E2E encryption for forwarding, so no dice :( https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-does-beeper-connect-to-encrypted-chat-networks-like-imessage-signal-whatsapp
Did you died?
Well, that took a turn!
