I can't speak for the other designers here but for me at least, it would help if, those who require banners, signatures, avatars, and such like to try and observe the formula below when making a request.
It isn't a rule by any stretch of the imagination but it will help you get your 'goods' a little quicker! :)
Request:
State clearly whether it is a banner, a signature, an avatar, or anything else that you are asking for.
Size:
In pixels: Width x Height. (Example: 320x180)
Preferred Colours:
Try to be specific. To you green may be just green. To a designer, there are more greens than you may care to imagine. Try to fine-tune it to "light-green", "dark-green", or similar.
Wording:
Be very specific about the wording you would like on your design. Personally speaking, if you spell something incorrectly then it is not for me to correct it. I'll just assume that you know what you are asking for and carry on regardless.
Use an Example:
If you've already seen something that you would like your design to be similar to, point it out. (A direct link helps.)
Keep in mind that you won't find many designers willing to just copy any copyrighted materials. But it will at least help us to get the right area.
State Things That You Really Don't Like
I don't want anything flashing, or I don't want bright colours, or I hate black, or any statement like that does help more than you can imagine.
If any of the regular designers wants to comment on the above, or add/delete anything, let me know. Then I'll do a final version and see if I can bully a mod into making it sticky. We can only benefit from it I think.
You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account.
That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs.
But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests.
Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true.
Not only are they not true. They NEVER were.
So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
