I do. The only thing I hate more than unencrypted messages is vendor lock in. There is no way I'm going to willingly lock my self into some companies chat ecosystem if there is a widely adopted federated alternative.
It's the same reason that I'll never switch from email to slack.

Right now I have iMessage, Snapchat, SMS, Messenger, GroupMe, Email, Discord and Slack along with a bunch of apps with chat as a feature. I have been caused no harm whatsoever by this setup except that my SO has a way to fill my notification screen when they’re feeling obnoxious.
- otabdeveloper2 7y agoYou're forced to run 8 chat apps where just 1 would work better, all of them with their respective security, privacy and battery-destroying performance problems. How is that possibly not "harm"??
