Some you may have missed, popular articles from the last month:
The comments on this article are closed.
a 40k users social network isn't so mandatory. Cut out the non-english speakers (seems to be a lot due to the fact that the two bigger servers are german) I think the minimal effort to keep the page up to date isn't worth.

Where did you get the 40k number? It's more than 600k (I already gave the link above on statistics: https://the-federation.info ). Also, what's "mandatory"? If you care about FOSS and not supporting those who use your information for profit, then use diaspora*, not FB or G+. For those who don't care that's of course irrelevant. In my understand social network should be a communication tool, not a tool to harvest people's profiles. Therefore it has to be decentralized to avoid such pitfalls.

Quoting: GoboThunderbird has an IRC interface as well! As for standalone: XChat.
Xchat is dead (since 2011), no development
HexChat is the thing now, started from where XChat was left

Telegram isn't secure, the people who want to control our entire lives already have their claws deep into that piece of software & can eavesdrop any time they like, avoid it like the plague.

I appreciate the info, but I never used their crypto in the first place, just regular chat o3o Even though I advocate for privacy, I'm more concerned with getting legislation passed to prevent such invasions in the first place, rather than worry if my specific conversations with my girlfriend is encrypted.
Whatever your reason for securing your communications, I respect that. However, outside of that, Telegram is a fantastic program for those just concerned with talking to each other.

i really don't understand why the f*** people use pidgin for IRC, it's horrible

All of that tells me one thing: Telegram is still secure, and hasn't been broken. I am using it for the useful features more than anything.
Anyway, we are going way offtopic ;)
