After the death of federated im on mobile, this is the closest we get to decentralisation. I'm all for it. The more people are on different platforms, the less any one platform knows about anyone.
Ideally, federation. But bar that, this is better than having everything in one app.
Bonus: this puts the pain in the front, where it should be. If there was ever a chance of getting back to an open protocol, this will be the best way to get there: make the proprietary universe annoying for users.
