 Uninstalling "gossip" client due to homophobic, sexist, transphobic dev BS. It has no place in my homelab.

 But is it a good app? 
 Take a second to breathe 
 Thx. Much better than "calm down" because I am calm, just disappointed. And happy I'm not out here going it alone. Grateful to my #Nostr friends who also saw BS and stood with me to call it out. 
 Who runs gossip? 
 Mike Dilger 
 Have a look at my timeline for more context. It sucks, I really liked gossip. 
 Word, will do. Never knew of Mike in the nostrsphere and don’t follow him. 
 What happened?

 I don't know why he's picking a fight about this, but all devs say things some users will take offense at, even if they only write about technical features. 
 Some things need calling out. 
 🫂  Yeah, I get that. LOL My feed is just me yelling into the void. 
 You know I got your back 🫂💜 
 Not saying you shouldn't uninstall it, tho. 
 I feel bad, it was my fault with the note I posted. 
 No, not your fault at all, love. Your post had nothing to do with what was obviously already on his mind. Dilger has had a history of similar remarks, your note just gave him an opportunity to reveal himself in a very confident, bizarre off topic rant that could not be further from reality, and had nothing at all to do with your very clear question. I prefer that someone reveal their true nature sooner than later. It saves time.

 After some soul searching, I've decided to continue to use and promote #gossip until something better comes along in spite of the dev's unfortunate personal views/statements. It is still the most secure #Nostr desktop client.
