TTBOMK, #OX has more implementations than #ATM. At least #Gajim, #Libervia, #Profanity, and #xmppc do support , while (AFAIK) only #Kaidan implements
.
I'm desperately missing the #Profanity icon by @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
Profanity is a console based XMPP client written in C using ncurses and libstrophe, inspired by Irssi

Banning swearing in Formula One could be bad for drivers – a linguist explains
