This is key for me. I'm already maxed out in how many various messaging services I'm willing to subscribe to. I buckled and got Slack recently because of a couple of local communities who were using it as their only means of communication. Turns out to be great, and has the wonderful feature of no interrupting notifications unless someone specifically messages me, so I can take part in group conversations with 100+ people involved and only look at them a few times a day. But installing Slack was effectively the last straw that made me give up on using Pidgin, so I've cut off IM access from friends who only have me on older IM networks. So what would possibly motivate me to jump to another messenger app that currently none of the people who I know are even on? I'm still resisting installing Facebook Messenger on my phone since I don't want Yet Another Messaging App. At least Facebook Messenger would have people on it I know; Formal would require that I bother people even more by making them install a new app.
