Good qualities for an open source discord clone:
* Identical UI
* Minimal dependencies (easy to spin up on a low spec VM)
* OATH so you can log in using your existing Discord account (easy for users to migrate)
* Single server (the server is the server)

My unpopular opinion is that you should never see a progress bar that says 100%. If it's at 100% then by definition you're done and should not be looking at a progress bar any more

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”
