IMO, the best way for an alternate messaging app to catch on (to WhatsApp) is federation. If we can figure out a way to have a common signaling protocol across apps and users can choose whatever clients they want, then they have a chance of competing against WhatsApp. At this point, there is no real reason to move out of WhatApp, given it just works?
- dependenttypes 7y agoMoxie is against federating signal. https://github.com/libresignal/libresignal/issues/37#issuecomment-217339450 https://github.com/libresignal/libresignal/issues/37#issueco...
- distances 7y agoI think that would be among the best ways to kill the app. With federation and multiple clients you'll never be sure what feature set the other end is using, and the service stagnates to the lowest common denominator of features.
