| > What makes you think you have a right to demand federation? Run your own server if you don't like how they're doing it. Because Moxie claims he wants to change mainstream communication? You don't revolutionise mainstream communication by fragmenting your user base even more. If every fork did what Moxie suggested, and create a completely new network, then soon there will be only a handful of users per network at all. And users will just go back to Facebook or WhatsApp. The claimed aim of Moxie is that everyone uses the same, partially safe, chat system. The only merit Signal has over XMPP is that it aims to be used by everyone, including your grandma, trading adoption vs safety. If that is the aim, you have to ensure it also is 100% compatible. If you directly suggest to fragment the userbase, you are destroying the one single merit Signal has over XMPP with OMEMO. Because then it becomes just another protocol for crypto nerds (and a worse one, in fact, considering the inclusion of Google code). So, explain to me, how is fragmenting the userbase in any way conductive to the claimed aim? |
