@itsfoss@mastodon.social again we have already enough messenger, cannot they do something else ? email relay, Visa relay ? phone relay ?

    @itsfoss@mastodon.social in Northern Sámi, this directly translated to "bitches".

    @itsfoss@mastodon.social Jack just won’t stop replicating Twitter… is that “bit chat” or “bitc* at”, the project name on GitHub is confusing

    @itsfoss@mastodon.social potentially useful during protests if things get bad. Then again, there's Briar which also comes Bluetooth enabled. I just don't know if Briar chatrooms work as fluid as bitchat says theirs work.
    Tbh bitchat sounds slow connection-wise but could be useful. Main concern though are app trustworthiness and Bluetooth exploits by authorities.

    @itsfoss@mastodon.social Interesting idea. Also, current branding suggests it can be used to “b*tch at” one’s correspondent.

    @itsfoss@mastodon.social yeah my immediate reaction was "Jack Dorsey? Yeah no thanks." Maybe I'll end up assuming incorrectly tho.
