Sorry but I just fundamentally disagree about the app centralization.
If you want xmpp to gain traction you need an app that exists on both mobile platforms. It can (and should) have per-platform tweaks and everything to be performant. But a person needs to be able to just tell their friend a single app, they need to be able to find it in their app store.
The question is "how does xmpp gain traction?" and the answer is having a single flagship app that runs on everything.
- ghetsisharmonia 20d agoIf a person needs to recommend a single app is because most people are tech illiterate and don't understand what protocols are, because no one tells them. I can expect this from our parents and grandparents, but not from younger generations that were born with PCs and smartphones. They need to learn; we need to educate them. Otherwise they will stay being the perfect fodder for Big Corpos and their monopolistic tactics. We need to start focusing on the protocols, not the platforms.
- jprjr_ 19d agoMy experience isn't that they're not being told. It's that they just don't care.
