• families of kids I have known for years self-deporting and not being able to say goodbye

• parents breaking down because in a two income household they are down to one income while the other hides and they are struggling to make ends meet

• parents worried about SNAP benefits getting cut

• parents learning that their kids were crying in the counselor's office scared of ICE

• getting multiple messages on ICE verifier chats that calls were made in multiple nearby cities

• a friend texting me that ICE was at that moment at a school in a neighboring town we both have folks at

Also, the app would warn you when you join a net that doesn't hide your IP address.

Then the "only" things to figure out are jump-in voice chats and grouping/spaces...

I think you'll still have to set up a password or key with the server, although the key stuff can probably be transparently handled by clients. I imagine an app that feels like Discord to the end user, that you just sign in with your ATProto account. 🧵

Device messages are often (roughly) the same between accounts, so that'll be all one chat with the specific account name shown somewhere obvious. Saved messages... I think it's going to be tabbed to save space in the list.

once you open a chat, your other accounts are not even considered (the saved/device merged chats are going to be the only exceptions). It only considers the account that owns the chat. IT JUST WORKS.

Profile pages on Leaflet itself will also help make it more independent of Bluesky, which is something I want because Bluesky is... well...

(anisota is nice here, but Leaflet posts don't seem to show up in feeds... it DOES support rendering them which is really nice!)

I should clarify that by "feeds" I'm referring to flexible Bluesky-style feeds, something more powerful than the existing Reader and Discover pages (but, for the most part, closest to Reader). Mostly because I'd like to use it "in place of" a Bluesky client on desktop.
