Indeed! Ever since XMPP was argued to be superior to everything else, I’ve come to just say “build it and show us.” No one cares about having multiple chat apps on their devices -if it’s good enough, it will be added along side Signal first, then replace it only when it’s clearly better.
right? like yeah i remember XMPP being cool n all, but all the experiences suuuuucked, not to mention (back in the day… i think its fixed now?) figuring out how the hell to get video calling working… “what extension does your client support?” is not a question a lay-person will ask: centralised systems don’t have extensions… they have “the way it’s done” and that’s it
