Would like to point out that this was acquired by Automattic, who’s CEO is notably transphobic. They repeatedly ban transgender transition progress pics (fully clothed) for violating the “sexual content policy” of Tumblr.
Apparently this acquisition happened on the same day as this post (not accusing, just saying it’s completely reasonable if you did not know about it, I didn’t know either until earlier)
Honestly I understand where you’re coming from but I’m going to be a bit pragmatic, it’s free, it centralizes all my shit chat apps into one “shit app” (the app is excellent so far) I won’t bridge it to signal because that would be my safe app but for insta, messenger, Discord, telegram and even SMS/RCS I have no issues
Fair enough, I like to try to avoid the CEOs that strike home for me when possible, even if that’s a losing battle. Beeper honestly sounds really convenient, I hope the CEO lets the team stay mostly independent on their choices for it

A message from tumbler’s CEO
Wow! That’s one annoying video!
Love the CEO sketches! And they’re not even in the top five things Brennan has done, probably!
