Hahahaha, the lack of features is a feature. All that shit is bloat, no thank you.

Yeah, not having proper nickname ownership beyond the crap NickServ offers is not a feature, it's a gross overlook from a time where we could afford to be naive on the internet.

And considering multiline messages as "bloat" is a wild take to be honest.

Why either, when I first went online bandwidth sucks, it still sucks even in the United States today only it sucks more upstream, especially, when in the world of file sharing, everyone hates a leach.

Given that, Rich text support is not wanted. I would however like to be able to Share VIDEO Over RCS that's not so tiny.

Rich text might not take much bandwidth, but I'm focused right now on removing and DNS sink holing all unwanted packets. Tracking, adverts, etc.

So the little bandwidth it takes, yeah sure, but multiply that with everything else that's eating it, and it's another leak to remove.

More "basic formatting features (bold, italic)"

No, thanks. If Discord were, you know, open source, The way I compiled it would strip those options out as well as any edits to pure ASCII Smileys.
