1. What has happened to us that 16M people is something we just laugh at as an inconsequential number, wtf.
2. SNR on those 16M people is probably well above average in the vector of most interesting people on the planet.

- danielbln 2y ago16, not 16M.
- mindcrime 2y agoWhat has happened to us that 16M people is something we just laugh at as an inconsequential number, wtf. I literally meant 16 total people. To be fair, that was a bit of hyperbole, but the point is that there probably aren't a lot of people looking to use an "open source ICQ alternative" in 2024. That doesn't mean that somebody shouldn't still do it, but it would probably be a passion project, more than something that would make money. At least that's my guess. :-)
