-       Free Software is undoubtably a good thing for society.  However, modern
-       computer users are stuck in the proprietary "ecosystem" for  historical
-       reasons.   This document describes the author's viewpoint of using pro-
-       prietary platforms to spread the ideas of Free Software.

-       This document describes the author's viewpoint.  This does  not  repre-
-       sent  the  ideas  of  the Free Software Foundation or any other entity.
-       Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

-       Readers of this memo probably understand the ideals of the  Free  Soft-
-       ware  Movement, and avoid proprietary software when possible.  However,
-       as most outsiders are unaware and are deeply buried inside the  propri-
-       etary dystopia created by mostly multibillion-dollar technology coorpo-
-       rations, our methods of communicating with the masses are ineffective.
-
-
-       In February 2022, the author decided to adjust his dogma, and permitted
-       limited  usage  of nonfree chat platforms to hopefully spread our ideas
-       to the general public.  This was attempted by registering a Discord ac-
-       count,  creating a Guild called "Free Software Introductions", and set-
-       ting up a basic Discord-to-IRC relay to #fsi on  both  irc.andrewyu.org
-       and irc.libera.chat.
-
-
-       One  of  the  communities  that he knows about, the VF-Technic Minetest
-       community, primarily uses Discord as a means of communication by  plays
-       not in-game.  As the users inside are Minetest players, a Free Software
-       voxel sandbox game, similar to but much more flexible  and  freedom-re-
-       specting  than  Minecraft, it is believed that the users have some con-
-       tact with Free Software, although they might not understand the freedom
-       part  of  the  issue,  i.e.  they  might  be thinking in terms of "open
-       source" instead.  After sharing  the  invite  link  in  the  VF-Technic
-       Guild, some people joined, and we've partially converted two users.

-       Two users is definitely few, but it sets a start and an example for how
-       freedom can be spread.
-
-
-       There are numerous free replacements to proprietary  services  such  as
-       Discord, such as Internet Relay Chat, the Extensible Messaging and Pre-
-       sense Protocol, the Matrix protocol, and email.  As Free  Software  ac-
-       tivists,  we  generally  prefer  these protocols over nonfree services.
-       This section explains the reasons to consider nonfree services and pro-
-       tocols.
-
-
-       Generally,  users on IRC and XMPP have a fair understanding of the Free
-       Software Movement, and it is quick and easy to inform them what we mean
-       by  "free",  "the  four freedoms", and similar ideas.  For users on the
-       Libera Chat IRC network, which by far has the most users  of  any  net-
-       work,  it is exceptionally easy to introduce a user into the #fsf chan-
-       nel for discussions with people supporting Free Software.   Introducing
-       ignorant users on these protocols and platforms are a day-to-day simple
-       task.
-
-
-       Furthermore, the amount of users we can reach on  these  protocols  are
-       rather  limiting.   Libera has around forty thousand users according to
-       the UUSSEERRSS command, and considering the fact that around  90%  of  these
-       people aren't ignorant, there isn't much we can do.
-
-
-       Matrix  users,  in particular users of the matrix.org homeserver, typi-
-       cally know but don't completely understand Free Software.  Rather  than
-       using  Matrix IDs to identify users, the Matrix specification specifies
-       that third-party platform identities, such as email and GitHub, are how
-       users  should  be  referenced  both  internally by servers and shown to
-       other users.  This is obviously an increadibly foolish idea, especially
-       considering  the  use  of centralized identity servers (similar to X509
-       certificate authorities) for 3PIDs.  These are our first  targets,  but
-       these should also be easy to get the idea across.
-
-
-       It is true that Libera Chat and similar IRC networks, though multi-cen-
-       tered in a technical way (i.e. multiple IRC servers form  an  IRC  net-
-       work),  the  network  is politically centralized, controlled by one en-
-       tity, Libera.  The Internet Relay Chat  server-to-server  protocol  im-
-       plies  that servers fully trust each other and are expected to not send
-       damaging commands, which in turn implies full trust between server  op-
-       erators, no federation, and political centralization.  The privacy pol-
-       icy and network policy of Libera Chat are in the author's opinion  non-
-       intrusive,  therefore the use of which is acceptable and is promoted by
-       the FSF.  (Obviously, most methods of using IRC do not involve  nonfree
-       software.)
-
-
-       Nevertheless,  those that have never touched Free Software are often on
-       giant proprietary platforms, and take these  as  universal  methods  of
-       communication.   Many  people  go  months before checking their mailbox
-       (physical or electronic), refuse to use XMPP or IRC for its age.
-
-
-       An alternative protocol, Internet Delay Chat, is being developed.
-
-
-       There is one special case where using some nonfree software,  and  even
-       urging  others  to use it, can be a positive thing. That's when the use
-       of the nonfree software aims directly at putting an end to the  use  of
-       that  very  same nonfree software.[RMSGP]  The author believes that the
-       following fall within this scope:
-
-
-       +o   Developing a free project that  requires  nonfree  environments  to
-           bootstrap;
-
-       +o   To  spread awareness of software freedom issues to users in nonfree
-           environments.
-
-
-
-       As almost all types of development can be done on most types of BSD and
-       GNU  operating  systems,  the author hasn't found any software that fit
-       this category.  Extending the interpretation allos  for  using  nonfree
-       software's behavior as a reference in Free Software development, though
-       an arguable programming practice, may help the community to progress by
-       understanding common features that users of nonfree services use.
-
-
-       The  latter  is  more  interesting,  as  explained above our methods of
-       spreading awareness is limited.

-       Activists MMUUSSTT NNOOTT list such nonfree services in "Contact  Information"
-       pages  on their website or similar sources, unless followed by a expla-
-       nation that the purpose of the nonfree platform is to  introduce  users
-       thereof  onto  free protocols and to eventually exterminate the nonfree
-       platform.  Whenever these references to nonfree platforms  appear,  the
-       author  MMUUSSTT  present  free methods of communication.  Activists SSHHOOUULLDD
-       pragmatically use as many of the popular free protocols as possible, to
-       ensure  that oppurtunities of introductions are not lost.  In cases in-
-       volving competition between free and nonfree protocols  and  platforms,
-       ethical  concerns  (i.e.  enabling talking to a new user on any ethical
-       platform) MMUUSSTT take precedence over technical concerns (such as dislik-
-       ing the XMPP protocol for its inefficent use of XML) whenever possible.
-
-
-       Communities for introducing users to Free Software on nonfree platforms
-       MMUUSSTT be bridged to a free protocol in some obvious  way,  in  order  to
-       minimize  the usage of nonfree platforms even for the purpose of commu-
-       nicating ideology to new users and allow members of the  Free  Software
-       community  refusing to use nonfree platforms in any way to participate.
-       Usages of nonfree platforms,  besides  part  of  the  user-introduction
-       process that must happen on the nonfree platform, SSHHOOUULLDD be avoided.
-
-
-       For  example,  the  author created a Discord Guild called Free Software
-       Introductions, which is one-way-puppeted to #fsi  on  irc.andrewyu.org,
-       which  is then one-way-puppeted to Libera.  The relay system is sort-of
-       messed up, but it's working.  Inviting new users to it via https://dis-
-       cord.gg/7CYp7ntww7  <https://discord.gg/7CYp7ntww7> is good, but as the
-       author has made his own sacrifice already, there  exists  no  need  for
-       other  existing  Free  Software activists to join and use it instead of
-       IRC.

-       The old and centralized nature of IRC, the insane  3PID  recommendation
-       of Matrix, the bad routing and efficency of XMPP, and the lack of docu-
-       mentation on PSYC, has led us to develop a new protocol, Internet Delay
-       Chat[IDC],  which  aims  to  be  free, modern (i.e. support for channel
-       groups and shared permission sets, non-text data with MIME types), sane
-       (i.e. TCP, UDP and SCTP-based, instead of HTTP POST APIs) and simple.
