Instant Messengers feel pretty much like this now: https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/
So, we got WhatsApp, FB Messenger, Threema, Signal, Telegram, Riot/Matrix, Jabber/XMPP, maybe Slack or even Skype and now Jami.
I'm _so_ looking forward to another messenger and trying to onboard users/friends to that, because _this_ now is the final solution to all our IM problems.
- silon42 7y agoFirst we need to support only protocols where an open source /free client can be written. Then I am free to use it (the best I can find) and other people can use any one they choose. I avoid using anything that requires a proprietary client. If I really have to, I'll use a web client and not be online most of the time.
- hjek 7y agoYou forgot IRC :-) Pidgin has extensions[0] available for all of those except for Jami. One messenger app to rule them all. [0]: https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins https://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins
