I'm kind of a privacy nut, but it's hard to take anyone seriously who says, "We're not open-sourcing this, but you can totally, 100% trust us."

Doesn't this already exist in the form of ActivityPub? Whether you're using Mastodon, Pleroma, WriteFreely, etc., you can interact with instances that use that protocol.

There's no way Jack doesn't know this already exists.

That paper is from 2018. I expect they've been remediated by now, though everything is going to be vulnerable at some point in some way. What matters is for how long.
Why can't God take care of that himself?
Out of that whole post, you landed on homophobia as a reasonable thing to call out?

I've used sc-im for pretty minimal spreadsheet operators for a while now, but have hated needing a special file format for it, plus it's not available in a lot of package managers. Love that I can do simple calculation in Vim now.

A single shred of doubt has a lot of power. As a comment above mentioned, ~38% of Christians believe in a young Earth. They are more than likely the ones who believe in the so-called "infallibility of Scripture". The percentage of the ~38% that might consider evidence brought to them by an authority they respect may also consider the fallibility of other parts of the Bible that those authorities endorse actively in comparison. That's my best guess at why church leaders don't ever talk about myths perpetuated by the congregation.
