I was on the beta testing team and have been using Beeper for a little over two years now.

The convenience of having an application to house all of your chat networks is amazing.

        They need to be interoperable. For example if you’re on Signal but want to chat with your parents who are on FB Messenger, then you would be able to chat to them via Signal.

        You can envision each chat apps as different instances and these communicate to eachother with a common protocol, just like ActivityPub in Lemmy.

          That sounds like something that companies are going to do literally everything they can to avoid. I hope this makes them squirm.

      Oh, I hadn’t realized chat apps were covered by it, but that sounds promising! Thanks for the link 🙂
