Do you know of any other messenger project that is not only #fediverse first but fediverse-only when it comes to public communication and interaction? It's a deliberate choice that is oriented towards organic contribution growth and staying under the radar. We do not employ a "get as popular as possible" strategy because it's all about real work not hype (of which there is no lack these days for IT things) ... and with few money. Let's see where we are in a few months ... Spring is coming :)
