I cannot take a privacy product seriously that only works on proprietary operating systems and does chat support exclusively over Discord.


This. If your primary source of information and development is Discord, and you're a secure chat app, I'm done looking. In most cases in fact if your sole source of information is _a chat app_, I'm done looking because you've declared you don't have anything but real time support, which is on par with me calling you on the phone (it ain't happening). Chat isn't feasibly searchable in a support context, even when archived, and is completely useless for anything but real time communication. I don't get how everyone keeps complaining about it and having the problem shoved in their face daily ("too many messages, can someone summarize?") yet insist on it as a historical record and asynchronous communication medium. Using chat as your only support is a clear declaration you would rather answer the same questions repeatedly rather than work on your project at all.


As I noted to another commenter, they have a go CLI client ( that I haven't tested ) [1] and their site says they're going to be available also for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Shouldn't it work on Replicant?
