Not an option, as far as I'm concerned. Plus, don't like having to DL it.

I spoke with Aether support in their live chat website window and I was told that they don´t recommend it if I want to use a VPN with the software, plus people must download the software, I can´t convice anybody to install software in their computer to chat and I don´t think it even works on mobile phones.

Not a good alternative. 👎

Weird, I've convinced a lot of people to download web browsers, video chat clients, and virus protection. Maybe you aren't good at recommendations :D

It's called Voat. The ID/URL is aether://board/f2c944108971c509c3718a43e8bc77d95d3591746241b6a490e537f00122d98d

It's the #1 community under "NSFW".

Burak Nehbit was hired by google 2014. It would be interesting to know the circumstances surrounding him leaving the company.
