Isn't it interesting that those important people won't email you. Mightn't you be doing those you care about a favor by incentivising them to get their faces out of that falsehood laden echo chamber and back out into the world where people can communicate one on one. I know what you mean. My family and I used middleman Skype before Microsoft busted it. We all have priorities and tradeoffs, except for Richard Stallman. Anyway, my software contains nothing that precludes somebody from interfacing it with the middlemen of the world. I haven't spun it into a massive Chinese puzzle of tamper proof, tightly locked latches to prevent replacement or improvement (unlike certain software we all know and love). My software is just middleman agnostic. In fact, by offloading middleman support to modules written by others, my software remains modular, DIYable, and easy to debug.
