  @miljan, as beautiful as Primal is when we have enough bandwidth to download the images and videos, I have a friend in rural Africa who pays a premium for data and needs a client that doesn't use up the limited amount of bandwidth he has with images and videos that he just can't afford.  Would it be possible to create an option on the Primal app that limits the app to text only? 
 We are planning to optimize all network traffic in Primal. The goal is to get it fully functional in low bandwidth environments. 
 Excellent!  Looking forward to that.  For now, I'm going to recommend that he follow only a few people to limit the bandwidth he uses, but that means that he can use it for messaging and zaps.
