I wonder if they're ever going to decide that enough emoji is enough, or will continue adding more until every word in the dictionary is an emoji. There have been some ridiculous inclusions in the past years despite more obvious candid

Good to know! If we go by jurisdiction, it seems that surprisingly NordVPN (Panama) is better than these two.

I've seen people here mention IVPN in the same breath as Mullvad; do you have any insight on how they compare? AFAIK Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is a Fourteen Eyes country, whereas IVPN is based in Gibraltar, which is not.

Element looks and feels more like a replacement for Discord or Slack than WhatsApp or Messenger. My intention is to build an alternative to the latter two in terms of UI/UX. Something your grandma could use, like Signal, but decentrali
