The #Signal messenger has become very problematic lately, and most of its problems come from it being centralised.
You may want to follow and support a decentralised messenger project instead, there are many of them on the Fediverse:
➡️ @snikket_im - New initiative giving XMPP servers & clients a newbie-friendly unified look and feel
➡️ @xmpp - The XMPP standards foundation
➡️ @matrix - Matrix is best known for its Element client
➡️ @delta - Messaging through email
➡️ @briar - P2P messaging
I'm happy that I'll be part of two meetings this month in front of the EU Commission talking about decentralized social networks and the work we've done https://socialhub.activitypub.rocks/t/ec-ngi0-liaison-webinars-and-workshop-april-2021/1539
I believe this conversation is an important one to have, and I'd like to expand on why below.

As much as I disdain this article (it’s a Medium article, what did I expect?), he’s right on the point of the confusing lexicography of “Free Software”. It’s too ambiguous and semantically incorrect.
Love Live Libre Software!

After further reading, I understand some counterpoints.
But you have to separate a lot of the wheat from the chaff.

Gemini is in no way harder, it's just unfamililar.
What you said is basically what Windows and Mac users say about Linux.
Critics talk like gemini evangelists want to genocide http, when on Gemini project's main page, it makes is clear it's "not trying to replace either [HTTP or Gopher]". It is it's own thing, with it's own purpose.

Yep. But I wasn't refering to healthcare as much as govt's role in school, like this:

I wish I had this. I wasn't really pushed like this so I was left behind healthwise. You'd probably ~half all doctor's appointments in the UK, US, etc.
