#profanity
This is an expecially good time to be around #XMPP
#profanity and #poezio were recently updated, while #gajim (and soon #converse.js) got a new major release. These are all #XMPP clients, if you're not familiar with those names: first 2 are console-based, while gajim is a desktop client and converse.js is a web client.
Even #Movim (web client) will have another big release soon, supporting #audio #video #calls and #screensharing.. Want to give it a go? 
"So long as Western societies cling to their chaotically unhealthy attitudes toward sex, the swearer will never want for four-letter words."
—Ashley Montagu, The Anatomy of Swearing
Why we swear like a trooper, trucker, sailor, fishwife.
Updated my @stronglang post with notes from Ashley Montagu's 1967 book The Anatomy of Swearing:
https://stronglang.wordpress.com/2022/12/11/trooper-trucker-sailor-fishwife-what-we-swear-like-when-we-swear-like-a-something/
Montagu's book devotes one long chapter to the peculiar history of the word "bloody", which, he writes, "accumulated so much magic that it provided an unfailing source of energy for use in all sorts of refined meanings."
Reading this. It's a lot of fun, if you're into swearing, insults, and literary history

I prefer the new xeps 0373 and 0374 "OpenPGP for XMPP" (OX) over the old xep 0027, but unfortunately no mobile client supports it yet. Afaik only #gajim and #profanity support it. #xmpp #pgp

Banning swearing in Formula One could be bad for drivers – a linguist explains
"There is something intuitively palliative about end-of-life profanity."

In der Familie wird meist der Andorid Client #Conversations verwendet oder #Monal für iOS. Ich selber verwende #profanity und #gajim. Die Kinder verwenden #dino.
Die Server #prosody und #ejabberd dürfen auch nicht fehlen.
Vielen Dank an die XMPP Community!

Am I right, that the last two points, i.e. better multi-device and encryption experiences, derive from Delta Chat using #PGP instead of #PFS-polluted #OMEMO?
Unfortunately, #OX (#OpenPGP for #XMPP) doesn't take off. Only few #Jabber clients (#Gajim, #Libervia, #Profanity) support it, esp. no mobile client so far.
Oh, how I envy Delta Chat users for having encryption without cursed #forwardSecrecy!
In honor of the excellent discussion started by @TheBreadmonkey about whether it is okay to swear on #mastodon
