- brabel 2y agoAny app that requires a login will be exactly the same? What's exactly your point? That people can't login to phone apps?
- Mashimo 2y ago> That people can't login to phone apps? Probably that they don't bother to have another chat app just for a few people. A older family member has WhatsUp and Signal and gets sometimes confused. I have WhatsUp, signal, telegram, discord, meta messenger and would be .. hesitant to install an IRC client for like 3 people.
- mavhc 2y agoWhatsapp wins because it doesn't require a username and password, that's too complex for many people
- prmoustache 2y ago> wins because it doesn't require a username and password And lose because you can't give it to a kid that doesn't have a mobile phone number. I have shared custody of my daughter and we communicate via xmpp on a tablet they carry over there when they spend a week at their mother's.
- mavhc 2y agoTrue, but I mean wins in a global "it's now the default platform for most people in the world" sense.
- Kiro 2y agoYes. People install a handful of known apps and that's it. You would never convince any of my friends or family to install this. In fact, I wouldn't either.
- worldsayshi 2y agoThe reason that most people don't want another chat app is not just because of the initial work. Every chat app adds a mental overhead for some activities. Want to find that recipe that you remember that some person shared with you a while back? Now you have to look through four different apps. And the overhead grows quite fast as you add apps.
- hombre_fatal 2y agoYour incredulous attitude is naive. Yes, people don’t want to have yet another increasingly niche chat app to communicate with just a few people.
- kyawzazaw 2y agoyeah, people definitely don't want to switch to use another app to chat. Is that too hard to understand?
