Ah now the ad hominems come out. Please educate me on how to be more cypherpunk. I just find it disingenuous that other devs call Primal (an open sourced client with an open sourced caching relay) “proprietary”.
Anyway, I’m genuinely curious, what exactly do you have a problem with regarding Primal? I learned today about Primal supposedly caching images and then pointing towards their own server instead of the original url in the imeta tag. I was surprised and really don’t like that choice, but I haven’t confirmed it myself yet and want to learn more about why they do that. As a dev yourself, what are your major issues with how they do things?
