JWZ once said that every platform eventually evolves into being able to send email and allowing its users to flirt and hook up. I dunno if Urbit has reached that stage.
Oh I’ve been to that event before. Angry lesbians came to the rescue then. Unfortunately I don’t think any of us want to deal with rationalists. Maybe they could get some angry bi ladies, I hear they do in a pinch.

god I’m imagining how this all must have went given the personalities of some of the radio hams I’ve known
I’ve actively stayed a pirate because I don’t want to deal with the majority of local HAMs (a necessity if I were to pursue a license locally)
i’m 100% sure this happened but like, in interbellum
also, there’s MGM for that, or iambic key if you’re a purist. or some digimodes can send plaintext which is basically primitive and slow chat

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh.

That’s fair, us mutual love and respect polyamorists are old and boring.
ya know how the failure mode of polyamory is when the cis straight guys try running things? yeah, welcome to rationalism
